Special Onion Pudding Recipes

ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400'.
• Grease a large pan (9x13 will work).
• Combine the dry ingredients together and then work in the shortening.
• Add the Onions and then add enough Milk to make a very soft dough (the dough should only just hold together and will seem very runny - about 1 cup).
• Place the dough in the pan - it will spread out to the edges.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with butter.
• In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, cream, and Parmesan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne, chipotle, and garlic. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture and set aside.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the water chestnuts and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Stir the onion mixture into the egg mixture and spoon into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and bake until the pudding is set, about 30 minutes.

CARAMELIZED ONION PUDDING

CARAMELIZED ONION & GRUYERE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly butter 8x8x2" glass baking dish, or 12 individual 4 oz. ceramic ramekins.
• Heat butter in a heavy large pot over medium heat.
• Add onions, garlic, parsley and thyme and saute until onions are tender and lightly browned.
• Remove pot from heat and season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
• Whisk eggs, cream, milk, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Gruyere, salt and pepper in a large bowl to blend.
• Add the bread cubes and allow to stand 10 minutes.
• Stir in the sauteed onions.
• Transfer to prepared dish or ramekins.
• Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
• Place the dish or ramekins in a hot water bath, cover with aluminum foil and bake until the pudding is browned, puffed and set in the center (about 1-1.5 hours). Remove foil and allow the tops of the puddings to color.
• Serve warm.

CHEESE AND ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Spread most of the butter on the bread and use the rest to grease a 2.5 pint casserole dish.
• Layer the bread, cheese and onion in the dish, finishing with a layer of cheese.
• Whisk the eggs with the remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper to your taste, then pour into the casserole and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Bake in the top of a preheated oven, 200°C/Gas Mark 6 for about 30 minutes.

CARAMELIZED VIDALIA ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tbsp butter to lightly grease 4 ramekins.
• In a saute pan over medium flame, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add onions and saute until they caramelize and turn golden brown. Cool and transfer to a blender or food processor and puree.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the cream, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and flour and mix well.
• Mix the onion mixture into the cream mixture.
• Pour into individual ramekins (about half full). Place ramekins in a roasting pan. Cover the ramekins with foil. Fill the roasting pan with water until the water reaches about half way up the side of the ramekin. Place roasting pan in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the pudding is set.
• Remove ramekins from the roasting pan to remove from the oven and let the water in the roasting pan cool before trying to remove. I've made the mistake of trying to remove the ramekins IN the roasting pan-let's just say the water is very very hot.
