Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add sliced onions and cook uncovered, stirring often, until deep golden and soft, ~15–18 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in broth and vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits. Stir in mustard and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low.
Step 3
Push onions to the side of the skillet. Raise heat to medium-high and place bratwurst in the empty space.
Step 4
Sear bratwurst without moving for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Step 5
Turn bratwurst and sear the other side for 3–4 minutes until browned all over.
Step 6
Nestle sausages back into the onions and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer together for 2 minutes to marry flavors.
Step 7
Divide bratwurst and caramelized onions among bread pieces. Drizzle with any pan juices.
