Champagne-Glazed Cipollini Onions

Champagne and a touch of sugar bring out the sweetness in these vitamin-C-packed cipollini onions.

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 18 minutes
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:
1 pound cipollini onions, peeled and
halved, leaving root end intact
11/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons brut Champagne
Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish

1. Arrange onions in even layer in 10-inch skillet. Stir in sugar and next 4 ingredients (through 2 cups Champagne); bring to boil over high heat. Let mixture reduce 7–8 minutes or until almost all liquid has evaporated.

    could this recipe for cornbread stuffing be made ahead and frozen? If so, would you cook it first?
