Baked Onions in Ramekins

Peel and parboil twelve medium-sized onions; drain; chop. Melt two tablespoons butter; add two tablespoons flour, one fourth teaspoon salt, one and one quarter cups cream, or chicken stock, four tablespoons soft bread crumbs, one tablespoon finely chopped parsley. Boil five minutes; add one egg well beaten and the chopped onion. Cool slightly; add the beaten whites of two eggs; add more seasoning if needed and bake in buttered ramekin dishes twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve immediately.
