Description

Viral Cocotte Stuffed Onion is a gourmet appetizer featuring large onions filled with a creamy, cheesy béchamel and truffle-infused filling, baked to perfection and served with crispy bread. It’s elegant, indulgent, and perfect for impressing guests.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large onions
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4-5 truffle shavings per onion
  • Rock salt, for baking the onions
  • Crispy bread, for serving
  • Creamy onion mixture: 1 bay leaf, 1/4 cup flour, 3 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup white wine, salt, pepper
  • Béchamel: 2 cups milk (warmed), 3 tbsp butter, 1/3 cup flour, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish filled with rock salt.
  2. Peel the onions and trim the tops. Hollow out the centers, reserving the onion layers for the filling.
  3. For the creamy onion mixture: sauté reserved onion layers in butter with bay leaf until soft. Stir in flour to form a roux, then slowly add white wine while stirring. Season with salt and pepper and cook until thickened.
  4. Prepare the béchamel: melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux, and gradually add warmed milk. Cook until smooth and thickened, then stir in grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Combine the creamy onion mixture with the béchamel to create the filling.
  6. Stuff each hollowed onion with the mixture and make a small well at the top for an egg yolk.
  7. Top each onion with an egg yolk and 4–5 truffle shavings.
  8. Place the onions upright in the prepared rock salt in the baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, until onions are tender and yolks slightly set.
  9. Serve immediately with crispy bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Rock salt helps keep onions upright and ensures even baking.
  • Use fresh truffle shavings for maximum aroma and flavor.
  • Can be served as an elegant appetizer or a side dish for special occasions.
