Categories     Vegetable     Appetizer

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

ONIONS:
2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water (optional)
REMAINING INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup (4 ounces) Gorgonzola cheese, at room temperature
24 (1-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette, toasted (about 12 ounces)
1/3 cup fig jam, heated a little bit in the microwave to soften it up
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Caramelize the onions: Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes or until onion is deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. While onion cooks, add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup at a time, to keep onion from sticking to pan. 3. Assemble the Crostini: Spread 1 teaspoon cheese over each baguette slice. Top each slice with about 1 teaspoon onion mixture and 1 teaspoon jam. Sprinkle evenly with thyme leaves.

This crostini recipe is a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The sweetness of the fig jam pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions and the sharpness of the Gorgonzola cheese. The crostini are crispy and provide a nice base for the topping
