To prevent boiling over, use a bigger pot than you need, as this will allow more surface area for bubbles to pop without spilling over. Stay near the pot and adjust the heat so that the liquid is boiling gently, not vigorously. Use a wooden spoon to stir occasionally, as this can break up the bubbles and prevent them from expanding. You can also try laying a wooden spoon across the top of the pot, as it will pop the bubbles as they reach the surface. If all else fails, temporarily remove the pot from the heat until the bubbles subside.

Additionally, milk adds a creaminess to the onion that makes them more delicious.
