Baked Onion Custard

Heat oil in a large skillet.

Add onion and 1/4 cup cream. Cook over low heat until onions are tender (5 minutes).

Measure 1/4 cup onion mixture into 9 (5 ounce) custard cups.

Beat eggs, remaining cream, salt and pepper until light.

Pour an equal amount (2 1/2 tablespoons) over each cup of onions and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Set custard cups in a pan of hot water and bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or when custard is "set" or firm.

You may use one larger baking dish, but cooking time will be longer.

Serve hot.
