whole wheat English muffins
4 (split in half)
sun-dried tomato pesto
3 tablespoons (for spreading)

Instructions

In a medium skillet, drizzle olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until they become transparent and lightly browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

While the onions are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat English muffins until golden brown. This will give them a nice crunch.

Preheat your broiler to high to achieve a perfect bubbly topping.
