Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the yellow onions and slice them thinly into even rings or half-moons.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt to help draw out moisture. Stir well to coat the onions in the butter and oil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until they become soft, golden, and caramelized.

Step 5

Once the onions are caramelized, drizzle the honey over them and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the onions and enhance their sweetness.

Step 6

Season with black pepper and fresh thyme if desired. Stir and taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the onions warm as a topping or side dish. Enjoy!
