  Meanwhile, make the caramelized onions: Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onions and season generously with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are browned and caramelized, 30-45 minutes. If the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan before they are completely cooked through, add 1 tablespoon of water, scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon and continue to cook. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool until ready to use.
