Smoky cheese and bacon combine with the natural sweetness of caramelized onions in this hot, crusty party bread that is meant for sharing.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 pound bacon (3 to 4 slices), cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 large onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 1 1/2-pound round rustic loaf of bread, such as sourdough or Italian
4 ounces smoked Gouda, shredded
4 ounces mozzarella, shredded
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown, about 9 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, covered, stirring occasionally and scraping up the stuck bits on the bottom of the pan as needed, until the onions release their juices and are caramelized, golden and soft, about 30 minutes. (If the onions begin to brown before they soften, stir in a tablespoon water, lower the heat and return to cooking.)
  • Combine the butter, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the onions until the butter melts and becomes saucy.
  • Meanwhile, with a large serrated knife, shave 1/4 inch off the bottom crust of the bread.. Make 1-inch wide crosshatch cuts on the top of the bread, three-quarters of the way through to the bottom. Put the bread on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon 3/4 of the onion mixture into all of the slits. Mix together the Gouda and mozzarella in a small bowl, then stuff three-quarters of the cheese inside all of the slits. Spoon the remaining onion mixture on top, followed by the remaining cheese. (The bread will be very stuffed and messy.) Cover the bread loosely with foil and bake until the filling is warm and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter or cutting board and top with the bacon and parsley. Serve immediately.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET BREAD



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Skillet Bread image

This appetizer is perfect for a football game or informal party, but it came about because I have two sons who are always hungry. I needed time to get dinner on the table after coming home from work. They love the skillet bread for the flavor, and I love it because it keeps them in the kitchen to chat while I prepare the rest of dinner! If you'd like, you can use homemade biscuits instead of prepared. -Mary M. Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

REVIEWS: If you love caramelized onions and good bread, this is the recipe for you! Delicious and fluffy bread with an amazing onion topping. Very filling, could make a great meal with soup and a salad. FANTASTIC! Made exactly as written except I added 1 tsp. dried rosemary to the dough ingredients. This is the lightest, fluffiest foccacia bread I have ever had...will use again as a pizza dough base. Thanks so much for sharing!! I have made foccacia in the past, but this recipe is delicious. The dough was easy to work with and the bread was lovely and moist. Like other reviewers, my onions had been too fine and were overdone by the end of cooking. I drizzled the hot bread with some olive oil before serving with spaghetti and meatballs. Next time I will try adding the onions nearer the end of cooking. Whole family loved this and have requested that it be made again soon. I made this with the onion topping to start with. I should have sliced the onions, as in your recipe, instead of chopping them. By the time I had caramelised them and then they baked on top of the bread, there wasn't much substance to the onion! I had chopped them too finely. I doubled the recipe and made two batches for my cooking class and we tried all sorts of toppings; garlic and thyme, olives, sun-dried tomatoes. All wonderful. This was so easy and so good! I will be using this frequently. Can't wait to try this with other toppings as well. Thanks! My first Foccacia bread and I love it. Made it as directed first time & was great. Next time I made a pizza with onion, mushroom, red pepper & pineapple. Wonderful!! Thanks so much for a great recipe. This was incredibly easy and good. I will only make foccacia dough this way from now on. I put the cookie sheet on top of my pizza stone and the crust was perfect. Can't wait to make it again and try other toppings. This is an awesome bread, and has become one of our regular recipes around here. I usually sprinkle a little garlic salt on it and add some olives. I like to use sweet onions, and I cook them on a med-low heat the whole time the doubh is going. Too good! I have already made it twice in the past 3 days. I used red onion both times and a few mushrooms the second time around. It is yummmmmy! We all ate it as it is-couldn't wait to make anything else with it. Fabulous recipe! Thanks for submitting. 5+ stars. I let my onions cook on the stove for close to an hour so that they were very carmelized. The dough was beautiful to work with. Something I learned from a TV food show was to grease the cookie sheet with olive oil. I used fresh mozzarella. Everything went together so well. Oh, the flavor! Oh Man this was great, even with my mistakes. I forgot to make the depressions in the dough and it turned out like a wonderful pizza. The dough is really sticky, so I had to flour my hands in order to spread it out. I added a some Itialin seasoning, some paprika and a little extra cheese and mine was done in exactly 15 minutes. What a wonderful bread this is. Thanks so much. My first Foccacia, but not my last. I chose this recipe after seeing SueL's photo and am so happy I did. This was so easy to make & we enjoyed the bread very much. Thanks for sharing a recipe I will use again. Easy and delicious! I loved the flavor the caramelized onions gave. Very savory! I also added a pinch of dried herbs to the topping before baking. Great recipe - thanks for posting!

CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET CORN BREAD



Caramelized Onion Skillet Corn Bread image

As part of GMA's $15 Dinner Dare series, each day an anchor unveiled a list of secret ingredients, then a chef had to prepare a tempting family meal live on the air with the newly unveiled ingredients. Emeril Lagasse was the second chef to take on the challenge. His list of surprise ingredients included only vegetables: black beans, pinto beans and spinach, so he contrived this side dish from the GMA pantry. I've never known anyone who could instantly caramelize onions, so this method was a huge surprise. Now, if you'd rather be more traditional, you can always caramelize onions (cut in 1/2 inch pieces) in the skillet over medium heat using a couple of tablespoons of butter and a little oil, sauteing until they turn brown and caramelize, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet (add sugar here if you like sweet cornbread) and continue with the recipe as written. Prep time includes time to heat the skillet.

CARAMELIZED ONION CHEDDAR QUICK BREAD RECIPE



caramelized onion cheddar quick bread Recipe image

Provided by socalnativelala

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces extra sharp cheddar, shredded on the large holes of box grater (about 1 cup)
3 cups (15 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces caramelized onion cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten lightly
3/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar evenly over the bottom of the pan. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper to combine. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the cubed onion cheddar, breaking up clumps. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and sour cream. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (the batter will be heavy and thick). Do not overmix. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan; level the surface with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chedddar evenly over the surface. Bake until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf conies out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack 5 minutes; invert the loaf onto the rack, turn right-side up, and continue to cool until warm, about 45 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used for caramelizing, but you can also use white or red onions. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, will caramelize more quickly and have a milder flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the onions.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor. Be patient, as it can take 30 minutes or more to caramelize the onions.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pot or skillet and burning.
  • Add a little bit of sugar: This will help to speed up the caramelization process and give the onions a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use caramelized onions in a variety of recipes: They can be added to sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, pasta dishes, and more.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. They are easy to make, but they do take a little bit of time. By following the tips above, you can make perfect caramelized onions every time.
