# How to Make It:
01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter with olive oil. Add sliced onions and sprinkle with kosher salt and sugar. Stir well to coat evenly.
02 - Cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 35 to 40 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Reduce heat if onions brown too quickly. Season with black pepper and allow to cool to room temperature.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine softened butter with half of the caramelized onions, 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, chives, and thyme if using. Mix until well combined and spreadable.
04 - Spread the butter mixture evenly onto a large serving board or platter using a spatula or the back of a spoon, creating swirled texture.
05 - Spoon remaining caramelized onions over the top. Sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt, extra herbs, and freshly ground black pepper.
06 - Serve immediately with crackers and baguette slices.
