caramelized onion brie crostini
Nothing says "I love you" like the patience requisite of caramelizing onions!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups vegetarian or regular beef broth
- 1 loaf ciabatta or sourdough, sliced
- 8 oz wheel brie, sliced
- fresh herbs, to garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and a big pinch each of salt and pepper, then add 1/2 cup broth. Gently simmer until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized, adding broth 1/3 cup at a time. This will take 30-40 minutes depending on your onions. Monitor the heat as you cook to ensure the onions don't burn.
- In the meantime, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of your sliced bread with olive oil and bake 10-12 minute until golden.
- When the onions are ready, make the crostini. Add a slice of brie to each bread piece and toast for 5-8 minutes depending on how gooey you want your brie. Then spoon a heap of onions overtop (about 1/4 cup).
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
