ingredients

2 ¹⁄₂ lbs small boiling onions, peeled
4 tablespoons butter
4 cups milk
¹⁄₂ cup flour
12 hard-boiled eggs
salt and pepper

directions

Cut each onion in half lengthwise through stem; then cut each half into thin slices.
In a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter; add onions and cook, stirring, until soft but not browned, about 25 minutes.
In a 2-quart pot over medium heat, scald milk but DO NOT BOIL.
Gradually stir flour into the onion mixture until well blended; slowly pour in hot milk and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
Slice eggs 1/2 inch thick and reserve about 10 slices to garnish the top of the dish.
Gently stir remaining egg slices into the sauce; season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon the mixture into a large, warm, rimmed platter.
Garnish with reserved egg slices.
