Step 1
Slice onion into thin half-moons. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add bratwurst and sear without moving for 2 minutes until bottoms are golden, then flip and sear another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add onion to the same skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until edges curl and turn golden brown, about 6 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in broth and add brown sugar, caraway seeds, and 2 tbsp mustard. Stir and scrape the pan to lift browned bits.
Step 5
Return bratwurst to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes until broth slightly reduces and coats the onions.
Step 6
Toast bread lightly. Divide bratwurst and onions between plates, drizzle with pan juices, and serve with remaining mustard and bread.
