👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Caramelize the Onions
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add your sliced onions and cook slowly for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to turn deeply golden-brown, soft, and incredibly sweet. Once finished, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. 🌪️🧅🔥
