Reminiscent of fondue, this rich appetizer is lovely served alongside an assortment of crudités and your favorite mulled wine. Be sure to order the uncut wheel of cheese from a cheese shop or specialty foods store.

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
8 cups sliced onions (about 4 large)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1 8-inch-diameter 32- to 36-ounce French Brie, packed in wooden box (reserve box)
2 French bread baguettes, sliced

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until just tender, about 6 minutes. Add minced thyme, reduce heat to medium and cook until onions are golden, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup wine; stir until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over onions and sauté until soft and brown, about 10 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine; stir just until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool. (Can be prepare 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap Brie, reserving bottom of wooden box. Cut away only top rind of cheese, leaving rind on sides and bottom intact. Return Brie to box, rind side down. Place box on baking sheet. Top Brie evenly with onion mixture. Bake until cheese just melts, about 30 minutes. Transfer Brie in box to platter. Surround with baguette slices.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The brie was melted and gooey, but the onions were a bit too soft for my liking.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a less sweet onion jam.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were impressive. The brie was melted and gooey, the onions were caramelized and flavorful, and the puff pastry was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again!

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out perfect. The brie is always melted and gooey, the onions are caramelized to perfection, and the puff pastry is flaky and golden brown. I love serving this dish with a baguette and a glas

This baked brie recipe with caramelized onions was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the gooey brie, the sweet and savory onions, and the crispy puff pastry was divine. My guests raved about it!
