🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 4 pieces Thick slices of bread (e.g., sourdough or country loaf)

• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once melted and shimmering, add the sliced onions.

3. Sprinkle the onions with salt, black pepper, and sugar, stirring to coat everything evenly.

4. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Lower the heat if they start to brown too quickly. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. Preheat your oven to broil (or 450°F if broil is unavailable).

6. Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Toast them lightly in the oven for 2–3 minutes on each side, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

7. Divide the caramelized onions evenly among the toasted bread slices, spreading them out in a thin layer.

8. Top each slice with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 2–4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep a close watch to avoid over-browning.

10. Remove the toast from the oven and let it cool for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness, if desired.

11. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Onion Toast!
