Caramelized Onion & Cheese Squares image

I have not tried these yet, putting here for safe-keeping. Looks like they would be a terrific addition to the holiday buffet table or to serve as an hors d'oeuvre before dinner or at a cocktail party. If I don't want to make the crust, I would use this topping on bruschetta. I also might try chopped fresh rosemary instead of the thyme. Recipe from Wine Bites by Barbara Scott-Goodman/Chronicle Books, 2011.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large red onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sugar
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • To make the crust:.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and melted butter. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the well, stirring until just blended and the mixture comes together into a rough mass.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle.
  • Transfer the dough to a baking sheet/tray. Pierce the dough all over with a fork.
  • To make the topping:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the thyme, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread the onion mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle with the cheeses, cut into squares with a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let cool a bit on the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These cheese squares are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the caramelized onions, and they don't even realize they're eating onions.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I loved the caramelized onions in this recipe. They were sweet and flavorful, and they didn't overpower the cheese.

These cheese squares are a great make-ahead appetizer. You can make them a day or two ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Then, just pop them in the oven when you're ready to serve.

I've made these cheese squares with both yellow and white cheddar cheese, and they're both delicious. I also like to add a little bit of chopped green onion or chives for extra flavor.
