CHEESE FONDANTS
 Boil the milk with a pinch of salt. Add a hint of pepper from the pepper mill and a little grated nutmeg. As soon as the milk starts boiling, add the grated cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely. Remove from the heat. Beat the whole eggs and the yolks together. Pour in the milk, whisking thoroughly. Pour this mixture into lightly buttered individual ramekins. Cook in a bain-marie in the oven (350F) for 35 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Skin and finely chop the onions. Soften for 4 minutes in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the paprika. Stir. Pour in the white wine. Reduce completely over a high heat. Then mix in the cream and cook for 5 minutes. Turn out the ramekins. Serve on a serving dish or on individual plates. Coat with the sauce and sprinkle with chopped chives.
