How to Make Cheese Onions
- Slice 2 large yellow onions lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Boil the sliced onions in 2 cups of salted water until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In the top of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water), melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
- Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the cooked onions to the cheese sauce and gently heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.
