Ingredients
- FLATBREAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CHEESE
- "This is a very versatile dish from Bonnie Stern who has owned a cooking school in Toronto Canada for over 30 years. It can be served at a cocktail party, as an appetizer or as a main course with a side salad..."
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 lb frozen puff pastry (defrosted but cold)
- 6 ounces brie cheese, diced (rind removed)
- 6 ounces mild blue cheese, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil or parsley
Directions
Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add onions; cook until wilted & starting to brown. Add sugar, vinegar, salt & pepper.
Reduce heat & cook gently for 15- 25 minutes or until onions are caramelized & brown. Cool.
Roll pastry into a rectangle approximately 12 x 16 inches. (From the poster: "I don't use the sheets of puff pastry - I prefer to use the 375gm package of Tenderflake Puff Pastry. I start rolling it out on my counter, then I transfer it to my baking tray (which has been lined with parchment paper) and roll the pastry to fit the tray. Since puff pastry is very "forgiving", you can "cut & paste" if necessary)."
Spread onions over pastry. Dot with cheese & sprinkle with chervil. (If you are preparing this for a party, you can prepare to this point and refrigerate- then bake later).
Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20- 25 minutes or until cheese has melted & pastry is crisp.
When removed from the oven, it will be puffed right up but allow it to cool for 5 minutes & it will fall back down. Cut into 20 serving pieces - this is easier done with kitchen scissors instead of a knife - then cut each piece in half diagonally.
