Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I like to start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sliced onions. I love the smell of onions cooking down; it fills the kitchen with a sweet aroma that’s hard to resist! Stir the onions frequently, allowing them to caramelize beautifully for about 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial for developing that deep flavor. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
