Caramelized onions are combined with the soft inner portion of brie cheese and balsamic vinegar to make this spread for crackers or toast.
•2 tbsp butter
•1/2 of a white onion
•1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
•1/2 lb. of brie cheese
•1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
•1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
•Toasted bread or crackers
Preparation
1. Thinly slice onion. Then heat a pan on medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add butter and allow to brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not let it burn. Once butter is browned, add onion and saute on medium heat until caramelized and brown, approximately 15-20 minutes. When onions are caramelized, add balsamic vinegar to the onions and saute for 1 minute. Turn off heat
2. Remove the outer rind of the brie. You will be left with the soft center. Mix balsamic-onion mixture into the soft brie, then add salt and pepper. The heat of the onion will slightly melt the brie. Serve immediately with toasted bread or crackers.
