Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pearl Onions
Peel the pearl onions. Blanching them in boiling water for a minute, then shocking them in ice water, makes peeling much easier.
Step 2: Cook the Onions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until golden brown (5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir. Gradually add the cream, stirring constantly until thickened and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Step 4: Serve
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with parsley or chives (and bacon bits, if using). Serve hot!
