Onion Gratin

Are you tired of the same old side dishes? Would you like to try something a little different and still very good? Look no further. Onion gratin will add excitement to your tried and true sides. We can all use some variety in our cooking. Variety is the spice of life.

What exactly is gratin? It’s a really fancy sounding French word, au gratin, that means to cook a dish with a topping of buttered bread crumbs and cheese. The gratin is cooked under the broiler to make it crisp and brown. It’s that simple. Most of us are familiar with potatoes au gratin. Onion gratin is a bit of a departure from the traditional potato dish.

Sweet onions and Gruyère cheese are what make it special. This onion gratin recipe has a similar flavor to French onion soup. I love to pair these onions with steak. Onion gratin is paired well with chicken, fish, pork, or even vegetarian dishes. You could easily add this recipe to one of your holiday meals. Try something new with this savory onion accompaniment. 

Happy Eating!

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 cup croutons 

1 tablespoon chopped parsley 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°

  8. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
  9. In a small bowl place the bread crumbs and drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Add ½ cup Gruyère cheese, ½ teaspoon salt,  ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh parsley. Toss everything together.
  10. After 25 minutes, take the foil off the casserole dish and sprinkle the crouton and cheese mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle fresh ground pepper over the top and a pinch of salt. Add a little more fresh parsley as well.
  11. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
  12. Serve warm. Enjoy!

 

Notes

If you can’t find Gruyère cheese, Swiss cheese works well.

Add more cheese if you prefer.

Double the recipe for a larger group.

  10. Thanks for all of the good work that you do, especially this one. I also appreciate your likes of so many of my prior Revelation articles. When I finish the Revelation articles, I will begin a series of articles on the Daniel prophecy, which will tell us how we got to Revelation.

      1. I really appreciate your internet friendship, and the likes that you put on my posts. Your work is very good, and I encourage you to continue with the same degree of excellence that you put into all of you work. Please consider how your articles may affect other people, people who live around the world, and that, unfortunately, you will probably never meet. Still, you bless people with you facts and ideas, and will bless even more, as time progresses.
