2 2/3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 qt. yellow onions, julienne cut
1 qt. apples, peeled, julienne cut
1 cup Dijon mustard

French Toast:
16 eggs
2 cups whole milk

For caramelized apples and onions: Heat sauté pan on medium heat. Add butter; cook until melted. Stir in onions; cook until they start to wilt. Add apples; cook until apples are tender and onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in mustard.

For French toast: Whisk eggs, milk and cinnamon until blended. Dip bread in egg mixture, turning to evenly moisten both sides of each slice. Add to skillet; cook until golden brown on both sides, turning once.
