Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 4 tablespoons, softened, for brushing the bread
3 onions, sliced
3 to 4 anchovy halves, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette
1/3 cup pitted Nicoise olives
Extra-virgin olive oil
Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
Serving suggestion: store bought Italian cured meats, such as some sliced prosciutto, sliced mortadella and your favorite hard salami

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped anchovies, thyme, salt and pepper and cook until the onions are sweet and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, holding the knife parallel to the cutting board, shave off the rounded top and bottom of the baguette with a serrated knife so that it lies flat. Then cut the baguette in half lengthwise to make 2 long slices of bread. Brush both sides of each with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.
  • When the onions are cooked, put the bread slices on a baking sheet and spread with the onions. Garnish with olives and drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven and bake until the bread is crispy, about 15 minutes. Shower with Parmigiano. Cut into pieces and serve hot.
  • Serve the onion toasts alongside an assortment of Italian meats.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large white onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped golden raisins
8 5 1/2x3x1/2-inch slices rustic country bread, such as walnut, pecan, or walnut-raisin
2 6-ounce wedges soft blue cheese (such as Cambazola, rind trimmed, or Gorgonzola dolcelatte), sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook until just beginning to color, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and cook until onions are deep golden brown and very soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in vinegar and raisins. Season caramelized onions to taste with salt and pepper. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Arrange 4 bread slices on work surface. Top with cheese, dividing equally. Top each with 1/4 cup caramelized onions. Top with remaining bread slices to form 4 sandwiches. Spread half of butter over tops of sandwiches. Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches, buttered side down. Spread remaining butter over tops of bread. Partially cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over. Cook until second sides brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut each sandwich into 6 wedges.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful caramelized onion, cook it slowly over low heat until it becomes deep golden brown and slightly sweet.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavor combinations. For example, try using a sharp cheddar, a creamy brie, or a nutty Gruyère.
  • Top the toasts with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or thyme, for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Serve the toasts immediately while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
