Melted Onion Soufflé

"Each creamy bite of this melted onion custard is a moment of joy. And as with all things melted, it starts with heat. Melting is the ultimate conquering of food. Melted food has surrendered to heat. All of the extraneous textures that get in the way are removed. What’s left is the essential: creamy, concentrated and pure. Melted onions are creamy, caramelized spheres with a concentrated earthy umami. All of their sulfur is gone. What’s left of the essence of the vegetable. Maybe you don’t think of melted onions this way. Maybe you’ve never thought of melted onions at all before. But, they are a cause for rejoicing. "
