Best 7 Cheesy Caramelized Onion Skillet Bread Recipes

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, toast caraway seeds until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in salt; remove from the heat and cool slightly. Sprinkle cheese over onions in skillet. Place melted butter and caraway seeds in a shallow bowl. Cut each biscuit into fourths. Dip biscuit pieces in butter mixture; place in a single layer over onion mixture in skillet. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool in skillet 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
• Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
• Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!

CHEESY ONION FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup grated Gruyere, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary or thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Spread on 2 pieces lavash (or other flatbread); top with 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake at 425 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Season with salt; cut into pieces.

FLATBREAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet.
• Add onions; cook until wilted& starting to brown.
• Add sugar, vinegar, salt& pepper.
• Reduce heat& cook gently for 15- 25 minutes or until onions are caramelized& brown.
• Cool.
• Roll pastry into a rectangle approximately 12 x 16 inches. I don't use the sheets of puff pastry - I prefer to use the 375gm package of Tenderflake Puff Pastry. I start rolling it out on my counter, then I transfer it to my baking tray (which has been lined with parchment paper) and roll the pastry to fit the tray. Since puff pastry is very "forgiving", you can "cut & paste" if necessary.
• Spread onions over pastry.
• Dot with cheese& sprinkle with chervil.
• If you are preparing this for a party, you can prepare to this point and refrigerate- then bake later.
• Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20- 25 minutes or until cheese has melted& pastry is crisp.
• When removed from the oven, it will be puffed right up but allow it to cool for 5 minutes & it will fall back down. Cut into 20 serving pieces - this is easier done with kitchen scissors instead of a knife - then cut each piece in half diagonally.

CARAMELIZED ONION BREAD

Steps:

• To prepare the sponge, place the water in a mixing bowl.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the water, stir in and let sit for 2 minutes.
• Mix in the 1 cup bread flour.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit overnight or for 14-16 hours.
• To prepare the onions, heat the olive oil and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute.
• Add the onions, stir well, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until browned and caramelized.
• Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
• To prepare the dough, place the water in the bowl of an electric mixer or in a mixing bowl.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the top, stir in, and let sit for 2 minutes.
• Add the sponge, bread flour, whole-wheat flour, salt and pepper.
• Mix with the dough hook for 2 minutes, or until the ingrediets are combine.
• Or beat vigoursly with a wooden spoon for 8-10 minutes.
• Let the dough rest for 15 mintes.
• Add the caramelized onions and resume mixing, continuing for 12-14 minutes or until the dough is silky and elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• The dough should be very wet and sticky, but still elastic.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
• Turn over a baking sheet and set a piece of parchment paper on it.
• Place the dough on a well-floured work surface, handling it gently to preserve as much volume as possible and cut into 2 equal pices.
• Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a flat round, about 1 1/4 inches thick.
• Transfer to the parchment paper.
• You may have to reshape once you have moved it.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• To avoid the plastic from sticking to the dough, spray the dough with some cooking spray.
• Place a baking stone on the middle rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
• Using a spray bottle, spritz the oven walls with water.
• Work quickly so the oven does not lose heat.
• You could also quickly place several ice cubes in the bottom of the oven after you have placed the loaves in the oven.
• Slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, into the oven onto the hot stone.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bread brown.
• Transfer the flatbreads to a rack to cool.
• Note: I could only bake one loaf at a time.
• Next time I will forget about turning the dough onto a floured board.
• I'll gently dump half of the dough onto each piece of parchment paper and shape it there.
