Crostini With Fig Jam, Carmelized Onions And Gorgonzola
- 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
- 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.
