Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Onions
Peel the pearl onions. Blanching them in boiling water for a minute, then shocking them in an ice bath, makes peeling much easier!
Step 2: Cook the Onions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Step 4: Serve!
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (and bacon bits, if using!). Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
