From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons unsalted butter -- divided
2 medium spanish onions -- sliced 1/4 inch slices
1/2 teaspoon freshly-grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon finely-chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cups milk
3 large eggs -- plus
5 large egg yolks
1/4 cup grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano
1 teaspoon salt -- to taste
1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
1 recipe fonduta -- see * note

Preparation:

* Note: See the "Fonduta" recipe which is included in this collection. In a 10-inch to 12-inch sauté pan, heat butter until foam subsides. Add onions and cook slowly until soft and golden-brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool. You'll need 3-ounce souffle rounds or flan dishes for this recipe. Butter the flan molds and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the onions among the flan molds. In a bowl, whisk together nutmeg, rosemary, milk, eggs, yolks and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper and divide milk mixture among the flan molds. Place flans in brownie pan and fill to halfway with cool water. Place in oven and bake 45 minutes, or until insides are set or a toothpick exits dry. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Unmold and serve with Fonduta and truffles.
