Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 6 ounces shredded Parmesan
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon minced canned chipotle en adobo
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing pan
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 7 medium-sized Vidalia onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with butter.

In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, cream, and Parmesan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne, chipotle, and garlic. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture and set aside.

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized. Add the water chestnuts and cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir the onion mixture into the egg mixture and spoon into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and bake until the pudding is set, about 30 minutes.
