Step 1: Preheat oven to 200C. Peel onion, leaving the root-end intact. Cut the non-root end top from the onion & trim the root-end slightly to allow the onion shell to sit flat.
Step 2: Remove as much of the inside pulp as possible w/o tearing the shell & set the onion top + inside pulp aside. Bake shell in the oven for 10 min. Do not turn off the oven.
Step 3: Rough chop the onion top + inside pulp. In a non-stick skillet, combine the chopped onion w/sugar + cayenne pepper & simmer till soft. Add cream + egg yolk, stir to mix well & remove from heat.
Step 4: Mound onion mixture into the onion shells & bake for 7 min. Allow to slightly cool, sprinkle w/crumbled bacon (if using) & serve immediately w/entrée of choice.
