making life sweeter
There’s nothing quite like the flavor of a fresh, true sweet onion, but cooking with these little gems can be a bit tricky. The unique composition of a sweet onion makes them a wonderful ingredient in some dishes and a terrible choice for others. For the best results when cooking sweet onions consider these helpful tips:

Use sweets: Raw in sandwiches and salads; lightly grilled-whole or sliced, gently roasted or quickly baked; in stir-frys; power bowls, street tacos and other fresh fare. They are delicious caramelized but take care not to stir them too rigorously or cook them at too high a temperature

Avoid using in: Slow-cooker or long-simmering recipes like chili, stews, soup or in baked casserole dishes. Prolonged cooking breaks down the delicate texture and flavor of sweet onions.

Breakfast Sandwich with Caramelized Onion and Avocado
Ingredients
4 slices good-quality whole wheat or sourdough bread, toasted
1 ripe avocado, peeled, cored and sliced
2 sweet onions, sliced into thin half-moons
2 large eggs, poached, fried or scrambled
3 tablespoons butter, divided
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Make the caramelized onions: Heat a large skillet to medium and add two tablespoons butter. Add onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and turn a caramel-colored brown. This process should take about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

To assemble sandwiches, place two slices of toasted bread on a work surface and butter the side that is face up. Place one egg (or half of the scrambled eggs) and half of the avocado on each sandwich. Top with a spoonful of onions. Butter one side of each of the two remaining bread slices, place on top of sandwiches. Eat and enjoy!
