Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.

-
Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of caramelized onions over each slice of toasted sourdough. Add slices of brie cheese on top of the onions. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

Melt the Brie: Return the toasts to the oven for 5 minutes or until the brie begins to melt.
-
Finish with Honey: Remove the toasts from the oven and drizzle with honey.
