- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until the onions are deep golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- While the onions are cooking, add the basmati rice, chicken broth, and salt to a medium-sized pot over high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Set a scoop of the onions aside for serving and then stir the rest into the rice. Add both the cheeses and stir again.
- Serve the rice with the reserved caramelized onions on top.
