small boiling onions and /or a variety of sliced onions
2 tablespoons butter or oil
2 tablespoons unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup milk
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
parsley
seasoned bread crumbs

Place the onions in glass or ceramic bowl. Cover. Microwave on high, using 5 min. per pound of vegetables as a guide. Set aside. In a batter bowl, combine butter, flour, salt, and pepper. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or to melt the butter. Whisk in the milk. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Whisk well. Microwave another 2-3 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the cheese and the onions. Serve, garnished with the parsley and crumbs. Or you can spread the mixture into a baking dish and brown the top off under a broiler.
