Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush one side of each baguette slice with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add thinly sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the onions with a pinch of salt and the brown sugar. Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized.
Deglaze the pan by adding the balsamic vinegar. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
Spread a small amount of gorgonzola cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top the gorgonzola with a spoonful of the caramelized onions. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect combination of flavors and textures!
