   • Begin by cutting each boiling onion in half lengthwise through the stem. From there, slice each half into thin strips. This will help ensure even cooking and release the sweet flavors of the onions.

2. Cook the Onions:

   • In a 5-quart Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted and bubbling, add the sliced onions. Cook the onions, stirring frequently, until they become soft and translucent but not browned, which should take approximately 25 minutes. This slow cooking process will caramelize the onions slightly, enhancing their natural sweetness and creating a rich base for your dish.

3. Prepare the Milk:

   • While the onions are cooking, place the milk in a 2-quart pot and heat over medium heat until it is scalded. Be sure not to let it boil; you just want it to get hot enough to blend smoothly with the flour later.

4. Create the Sauce:

   • Once the onions are soft, gradually stir the flour into the onion mixture until it is well blended. This step is crucial for creating a smooth sauce without lumps. Slowly pour in the hot milk while continuing to stir. Keep cooking and stirring until the sauce begins to boil and thicken. This should result in a creamy, velvety sauce that envelops the onions beautifully.

5. Prepare the Eggs:

   • Slice the hard-boiled eggs into 1/2-inch thick slices. Set aside about 10 slices to use as a garnish later. Gently stir the remaining egg slices into the thickened sauce, ensuring they are well incorporated.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Once seasoned to your liking, carefully spoon the creamy mixture into a large, warm, rimmed platter. Garnish the top with the reserved egg slices, arranging them neatly for a lovely presentation.
