Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 g unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature to soften.
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Once caramelized, add the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion mixture cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cooled onion mixture, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated and smooth. You can use a fork, a hand mixer, or a food processor for this step.
Transfer the Cinnamon Onion Butter to a small serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Bring the butter to room temperature before serving to make it spreadable. Enjoy it on bread, crackers, or as a versatile topping for your favorite dishes.
