Ingredients

Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until they are deep golden brown and caramelized.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the onions, stir well to combine, and season with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes and then remove from heat.

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly on a grill or in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly inside each bun.
Place a cooked cheese brat in each bun and top generously with caramelized onions.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Cheese Brats with Caramelized Onions.
