Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop. Garnish with chopped chives before serving if desired.
