Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium loaf Baguette
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions into even strips.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Cook the onions on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized. Reduce heat if they begin to burn.
While the onions are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel and cut the garlic cloves in half, then rub the cut side onto the surface of each baguette slice for a light garlic flavor.
Once the onions are caramelized, set them aside to cool slightly.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese onto each baguette slice.
Top the cheese with a spoonful of caramelized onions, spreading them evenly over the bread.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread edges are golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
