Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, sliced thinly into semi-circles (roughly 2 1/2 cups)
Salt
Black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese, cold
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
Flour, for rolling
1 whisked egg, for egg wash
Crackers, sliced baguette, apples/pears, for serving on the side

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the sliced onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Once golden, stir in the teaspoon of sugar, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce, stirring to incorporate; allow the onions to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently now, until jam-like and deeply browned; then, add the 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, stir to combine, and remove from pan and allow to cool (you should have roughly 1/2 cup).
  • To prepare the baked brie, lightly flour your work surface, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8" thickness, a bit larger than the wheel of brie (trim the puff pastry a little bit if it's considerably too large for your brie); place the brie in the center of it, spoon over top of it the cooled, balsamic caramelized onions, then fold the puff pastry sheet over top to cover everything, creating a little "package" with pleats.
  • Place the wrapped brie "package" onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and very gently brush some egg wash over the puff pastry (avoid allowing it to pool underneath), and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (or even overnight), covering lightly with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Once ready to bake, place the brie into the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed; allow the baked brie to stand for 10 minutes before serving, to avoid it oozing out too much.
  • To serve, add a couple of decorative sprigs of thyme, and surround the brie with crackers, sliced baguette, or even fruit such as apples or pears.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 sprigs thyme, plus leaves for topping
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 7- to 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
1 7- to 8-inch round loaf white or sourdough bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the fat renders, about 5 minutes, then add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs and garlic; reduce the heat to medium low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned and broken down, 30 to 35 minutes, adding the vinegar and brown sugar in the last 5 to 10 minutes. If the pan gets too dry, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Remove from the heat; stir in the mustard and parsley.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Put the brie in the freezer to firm up, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top one-third of the bread loaf (reserve the top). Hollow out the bread so that the brie will fit inside. Slice the top and insides of the bread; drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the sliced bread on one baking sheet and put the bread bowl on the other.
  • Remove the brie from the freezer and trim off the top rind. Fit the brie inside the bread bowl and top with the onion jam, discarding the thyme stems. Transfer both baking sheets to the oven and bake until the bread is toasted and the brie is hot, about 10 minutes for the sliced bread and 15 to 20 minutes for the bread bowl. Sprinkle the brie with thyme. Serve with the toasted bread.

Tips:

1. Choose a firm, ripe brie cheese: A good quality brie will melt smoothly and evenly, resulting in a creamy and flavorful spread. 2. Use sweet onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, caramelize beautifully and add a delicious sweetness to the spread. 3. Cook the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions over low heat brings out their natural sweetness and prevents them from burning. 4. Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich, fruity flavor to the spread. 5. Season the spread to taste: Add salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to taste. 6. Serve the spread warm: Baked onion brie spread is best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Baked onion brie spread is an easy and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with crackers, bread, or vegetables, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
