Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links gluten-free cheese brats
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 pieces gluten-free brat buns
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- optional, for serving dijon mustard
Instructions
Slice the onions thinly, ensuring they are of uniform thickness to cook evenly.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them with the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and stir again to mix.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
While the onions are cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the gluten-free cheese brats on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nicely browned grill marks.
Lightly toast the gluten-free brat buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are warmed and slightly crispy.
Once the onions are caramelized, season them with salt and black pepper to taste and stir well.
Place each gluten-free cheese brat into a bun and top generously with the caramelized onions.
Serve immediately with dijon mustard on the side if desired.
