How to Make Luscious Creamy Glazed Onions

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a hot non-stick skillet until sizzling.
  2. Add 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions begin to soften.
  4. Add 1-2 minced jalapeños (to taste) and continue to stir and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Kahlúa and simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, coating the onions (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Reduce heat to low, stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream, and combine thoroughly.
  8. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
