Method

22 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 450 °F.
02
Fry Bacon
In a heavy-bottomed pot, fry the 4 strips bacon over medium heat until crisp and rendered.
03
Cool Bacon
Remove the bacon from the pot and let it cool on a plate lined with paper towel.
04
Drain Bacon Grease
Spoon off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot.
05
Sauté Onions
Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot, which helps keep the rendered fat from burning, then toss in the 1 sliced onion. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until it just starts to soften.
06
Simmer Onions
Pour in the 1 cup chicken broth and add the two sprigs of thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
07
Reduce Liquid
Once the onions are tender, stir in the 1/4 cup white wine and bring the mixture back to a boil. Let it boil until the liquid has reduced by about half, which should take around 10 minutes.
08
Make Roux
In a small saucepan, melt the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Whisk in the 1 tablespoon flour until it forms a smooth paste, then slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup half and half until combined and smooth. Stir in the 1 pinch nutmeg.
09
Thicken Onion Mixture
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the roux into the onion mixture. Stir continuously until the onion mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10
Set Aside
Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside.
11
Assemble Ramekins
Spoon the creamed onion mixture into 4 individual ramekins. Top each ramekin with an uncooked biscuit.
12
Bake Biscuits
Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
13
Cool Before Serving
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
14
Begin Biscuits
FOR THE BISCUITS
15
Sift Dry Ingredients
Sift the 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together into a large mixing bowl.
16
Add Butter and Basil
Add the 6 tablespoons cold butter and 1/4 cup fresh basil to the dry mixture.
17
Cut in Butter
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
18
Add Half and Half
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the 3/4 cup half and half.
19
Form Dough
Stir just until the dough comes together.
20
Roll Dough
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface.
21
Flatten Dough
Gently flatten the dough to about 1 inch thickness.
22
Cut Biscuits
Using a 2 biscuit cutter, cut out 12 biscuits.
