Creamed Pearl Onions Recipe~ Noreen's Kitchen

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.

Add 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the melted butter to create a roux, cooking for about a minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Pour in one can of evaporated milk mixed with one can of water, whisking to combine.

Continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer and thicken.

Slowly stream in 1 cup of heavy cream while whisking until fully incorporated.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cracked black pepper, and about 1/4 teaspoon of grated nutmeg.

Add the pearl onions to the sauce and mix well.

Optionally, pour the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until brown and bubbly, or serve immediately from the stovetop.

Let the dish cool before storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
