🧅Ingredients

• Fresh thyme

• 1 tbsp white wine

• 1 tsp mustard

🧅Method

• Add the butter to a pan and bring to medium heat so it melts. Add the finely sliced onion, thyme and garlic and toss to coat with the butter

• Cook the onions, stirring often, until they have softened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pan. Cook for 10 more minutes while intermittently stirring until the onions start to brown and become soft

• Add the sugar and salt and cook until the onions are well browned, about 10 more minutes. You can cover it with a lid and stir every 5 minutes

• In a separate bowl mix the mozzarella, cream cheese and mustard. Add the caramelised onions and mix well

• Bake in the oven at 180C grill on for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts
