2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese
Directions:
Place your skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add all the onions to the pan and stir them gently to coat with butter.
Check the onions every 5 to 10 minutes. Stir the onions and scrape up any fond that forms on the bottom of the skillet. Exact cooking times will vary with the number of onions you're cooking, their liquid and sugar content, and their age, but usually 20-40 minutes.
To prevent onions from drying add, add 1 Tablespoon of water. I usually add it around the 10-minute mark. At the same time, I usually at the sugar and stir.
Once onions have reached the desired caramelization, remove from heat. Add Herbs de Provence, mix together and set aside.
