Shallots - Not sure why I never used them before

I always assumed I could substitute onions for shallots. Boy, was I wrong. I bought some the other day and they've become my new favorite thing to use in the kitchen. They melt right into a dish. I find myself eating half of them raw before I even add them to a dish. I feel like a college freshman that just discovered The Doors.

Plant some. They are easy to grow. I use them quite a bit.

I never used them until about 4 years ago. They are a constant part of the kitchen now.

I love them.

Yup. Love them. But I have the same problem with onion so I'm not exactly one to have the most unbiased opinion.

Id use them more if my local grocer (Rouses) carried them.

I have been using them a lot lately as well. Initially, because the supermarket onions sucked.
Why can't I get decent onions in BR?

they have a more 'delicate' flavor than onions? hard to explain.
i used them when sauting the 'filling' for those ham-cup eggs during the holidays. these are phenomenal
------------------
3/4 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
12 slices Black Forest or Virginia ham (without holes; 10 oz)
12 large eggs
Garnish: fresh tarragon leaves
Accompaniment: buttered brioche or challah toast
Special equipment: a muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups
print a shopping list for this recipe
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Prepare mushrooms:
Cook mushrooms and shallot in butter with salt and pepper in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and liquid they give off is evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche and tarragon.
Assemble and bake:
Fit 1 slice of ham into each of 12 lightly oiled muffin cups (ends will stick up and hang over edges of cups). Divide mushrooms among cups and crack 1 egg into each. Bake in middle of oven until whites are cooked but yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes. Season eggs with salt and pepper and remove (with ham) from muffin cups carefully, using 2 spoons or small spatulas.

A good dish I've found some haricots verts, thinly sliced shallot, some fresh garlic, a dash of black pepper, and salt. Sauté for a bit, then add in a splash of white wine. The shallots seem to caramelize a lot easier than onions when used in this dish.

I buy them at the Brookshires in Rayvegas. Never once has the cashier known what they were.

I have that happen all the time. I used them in a tomato bread pudding a few weeks ago. Next time, I'll use more that was called for.

Just got them at a Columbus, Ohio Kroger, the young man knew exactly what they were.
It was pretty impressive.
