Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions
- 9 ounce goat cheese
- 1 lemon (zested)
- 3 ounce triple cream cheese
- 6 red pearl onions
- 4 tablespoon butter
- water as needed
- thyme to taste
- salt to taste
- 6 white pearl onions
- 12 cippolini onions

Directions
- Caramelize the onions to a dark brown color.
- Over a double boiler, melt both cheeses into a smooth mixture and fold in the onion and lemon zest.
- In a medium sauce pan, bring the water to a medium-high temperature and slowly whisk in the butter to form an emulsion.
- Add the onions one color at a time.
- Cook until tender and watch the braise; if it starts to break add some water to bring it back together.
- Season with thyme and salt.
- Let cool for 4 minutes.
- In a sauté pan, add onions (whole) on medium heat.
- Caramelize the onions completely, then add a splash each of sherry vinegar and water, and honey and butter as desired.
- Make sure the mixture starts to coat the onions, then turn down to low heat.
