Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, sliced thinly into semi-circles (roughly 2 1/2 cups)
Salt
Black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese, cold
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
Flour, for rolling
1 whisked egg, for egg wash
Crackers, sliced baguette, apples/pears, for serving on the side

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the sliced onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Once golden, stir in the teaspoon of sugar, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce, stirring to incorporate; allow the onions to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently now, until jam-like and deeply browned; then, add the 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, stir to combine, and remove from pan and allow to cool (you should have roughly 1/2 cup).
  • To prepare the baked brie, lightly flour your work surface, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8" thickness, a bit larger than the wheel of brie (trim the puff pastry a little bit if it's considerably too large for your brie); place the brie in the center of it, spoon over top of it the cooled, balsamic caramelized onions, then fold the puff pastry sheet over top to cover everything, creating a little "package" with pleats.
  • Place the wrapped brie "package" onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and very gently brush some egg wash over the puff pastry (avoid allowing it to pool underneath), and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (or even overnight), covering lightly with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Once ready to bake, place the brie into the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed; allow the baked brie to stand for 10 minutes before serving, to avoid it oozing out too much.
  • To serve, add a couple of decorative sprigs of thyme, and surround the brie with crackers, sliced baguette, or even fruit such as apples or pears.

BAKED BRIE CHEESE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Baked Brie Cheese With Caramelized Onions image

YUMMY! That is all I can think of when I am getting ready to make this! This is a great appetizer for a get together, shower or really just any time. This dish is perfect with entertainer crackers. If you like brie you are going to love this! I personally love the onions and will use the whole onion even though the recipe calls for only 1/2. This recipe pretty much is basic and can be altered to your liking. I have added more onion, I have added sometimes more or less butter, more or less sugar and every time the dish is wonderful! Once you make this you will decide what you like best. The melty, gooey cheese, the sweet sauce or the yummy sweet onions. Then go from there!

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a mild flavor. Avoid bries that are too firm or have a strong smell.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry. The puff pastry will help to create a crispy, flaky crust for your baked brie. Avoid using puff pastry that is too thin or that has been frozen for too long.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly. Caramelizing the onions slowly will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Don't rush the process or the onions will burn.
  • Don't overcook the brie. The brie should be melted and gooey, but it shouldn't be runny. Overcooking the brie will make it tough and chewy.
  • Serve the baked brie immediately. Baked brie is best served warm and fresh out of the oven. It can be served with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Baked brie with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to impress your guests and it's sure to be a hit at your next party. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give baked brie with caramelized onions a try. You won't be disappointed!
