Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove and let cool.
While the baguette slices are toasting, peel and finely slice the onions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold the caramelized onions into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
Spoon a generous dollop of the creamy onion mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Optional: Garnish each canape with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Let the canapes come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best flavor.
