Creamed Pearl Onions

I tend to make the same Thanksgiving dishes but I wanted to add some new ones. I asked for some suggestions and creamed onions were recommended. I never thought to make creamed onions. My husband thought it was a great suggestion. They were good. Next time, I'm adding white pepper instead of black pepper just for appearance. This dish will be added to our Thanksgiving feast.
Creamed Pearl Onions
1 bag of fresh pearl onions
1 Tbsp salted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
white pepper and salt to taste

Directions:
  1. Bring a medium pot of water to boil.
  2. Add the onions and boil for 1 minute.
  3. Drain and run under cold water to cool.
  4. Peel the outer layer of the onion paper off of the onion. 
  5. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. 
  6. Add the butter and allow to melt. 
  7. Add the pearl onions and saute until golden brown 
  8. Add the heavy cream and allow to reduce for 5 minutes. 
  9. Season with white pepper and salt to taste.
  10. Serve immediately.
