Ingredients
- 2 large yellow or sweet onions, sliced finely
- 2 cups melting cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the onions: Slice the onions finely. The thinner the slices, the faster they will caramelize.
- Heat the butter: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foamy and golden.
- Add the onions: Toss the sliced onions in the melted butter until coated.
- Caramelize: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally, allowing onions to cook for about 25-30 minutes until sweet and golden.
- Season: Add salt, pepper, and chosen fresh herbs, mixing well.
- Incorporate the cheese: Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted into the onion mixture.
- Serve: Spoon into a serving dish and enjoy!
Notes
To elevate the dish, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar towards the end of cooking.
