ONION-GRUYÈRE GRATIN  
This first came from Southern Living Complete Quick and Easy Cookbook: 2009
Ingredients:
4 medium onions cut into 1/2" slices
3 T whipping cream
1 t flour
1/2 t salt
1/8 t ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
Procedures:
  1. Place onion slices in a lightly greased 11 x 7 baking dish. Cover tightly with heavy-duty plastic wrap; fold back a small corner to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes or just until onion is tender. Drain onion and return to dish
  2. Whisk together whipping cream and next three ingredients in a small bowl. Pour cream mixture over onions, stirring to coat. Cover and microwave 1 minute; stir. Sprinkle onions with cheese.
  3. Broil 3" from heat for 5 minute or until cheese is golden. Serve immediately.
Notes:
2010-06-02: This had its first attempt and was very good Next Time: We're going to make some significant changes. We're going to slice the Vidalia onions into 3/4" slabs, then microwave in a single layer to preserve the integrity of the slices and reduce the time to 5-7 minutes and drain. For the sauce we'll increase the cream to 1/4 cup and the flour to a tablespoon. Put the onion slabs in a single layer in a baking dish and pour the sauce over the onions. Make a cheese mixture by combining 1 cup of Panko with 1 cup of shredded Gruyere and 2 Tablespoons EVOO and mixed to be crumbly. Cover the slices with spoonfuls of the cheese mixture. Bake at 375o for 20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown
