Serves 6

2 Tbs. oil
2 sweet onions, thinly sliced
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
3 oz. smoked salmon, chopped
pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup chopped chives
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and butter 6-cup shallow baking dish.
Heat oil and cook onions until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove onions to prepared baking dish. Mix eggs, cream, milk, salmon and seasonings until well combined. Pour over onions and sprinkle with chives. May be prepared to this point and held in refrigerator overnight. Bake about 1 hour or until custard is just set in center. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
