Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, sliced (about 4 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1 teaspoon sugar
1 ball purchased pizza dough (about 12 to 16 ounces)

CARAMELIZED ONION, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE MELTS



Caramelized Onion, Apple and Goat Cheese Melts image

Caramelizing onions can be a lesson in patience, but you need to cook these onions for only half the usual time, just enough to break them down and turn them a light golden brown. Once cooked, they make up the bulk of the filling for these sandwiches. Folding the warm onions into the goat cheese softens the cheese, helping it glide easily over the bread. The cheese helps bind everything together, so nothing slips out while the sandwich is toasting in the pan. You can use apples or pears here; either adds some fresh crunch. Seasoned with woody thyme and zippy kalamata olives, this sandwich makes a hearty lunch, or a light supper paired with soup or salad.

Provided by Jerrelle Guy

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, sandwiches, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed for frying
1 1/2 pounds Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup soft goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives (about 10 olives)
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices sourdough bread
1/2 pound apples or pears, halved, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add the onions and salt and cook, tossing frequently, until the onions turn creamy and golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Add thyme and red-pepper flakes and stir for another 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the onions to a small bowl and stir in the goat cheese and olives.
  • Place 4 slices of bread on the counter and divide the onion mixture among them, spreading to the edges. Top with the apple or pear slices, then the remaining bread, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Wipe the same skillet down with a paper towel, then add 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil (or more as needed to coat the bottom of the pan) and heat over medium. Working in batches, if needed, add the sandwiches and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing them gently to compress them as they cook, until the bread is toasted and deeply golden brown. If working in batches, add more olive oil as needed and cook remaining sandwiches. Slice and serve.
