Time 50m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds goat cheese
14 dried Mission figs (1 cup), sliced
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large Spanish onions, thinly sliced
10 garlic cloves, crushed

  • Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and place over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon remove the plumped figs from the sauce pot, leaving behind any of the pluming liquid. Add the figs to the cooked onions, stir to combine and then spoon over the goat cheese.

  • Remove and serve immediately with sliced baguettes.

EGG WHITE, CARAMELIZED ONION AND FIG JAM SANDWICH



Egg White, Caramelized Onion and Fig Jam Sandwich image

I eat this sandwich a coupla times a week - it's so good that you wouldn't even know it's diet food. See, caramelized onions are king when you're dieting: they're super low in fat, super cheap, and make anything taste great (...well, anything that tastes great with caramelized onions).

Provided by Food Network

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tbsp plus 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 red onions, sliced into 1/4 inch-rings and separated
1 1/4 tsp sea salt
8 egg whites (2 egg whites per sandwich)
1 tsp piment d'Espelette
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar, minimum 7 years old
1 tbsp maple syrup
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup fresh blueberries
8 slices flax-seed or whole-wheat bread, sliced 1/2 inches thick
Fig jam

Steps:

  • CARAMELIZED ONIONS: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and stir to coat evenly. Saute for 8 minutes. Then turn the heat down to medium low and saute for another 40 minutes, until they're a deep amber color and have reduced to one third of their original volume
  • EGG WHITE OMELETS: Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, and use a paper towel to lightly grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Beat 2 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon of piment d'Espelette, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Pour the egg whites into the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes, until opaque and slightly firm. Flip over the egg white omelet, and cook for an additional minute or two. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • BLUEBERRY & ARUGULA SALAD: In a jar, combine 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic, and maple syrup. Close the jar tightly and shake vigorously to emulsify. In a large bowl, toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing.
  • SHKIAFFING IT TOGETHER: Toast the bread and slather one half of each sandwich with a tablespoon of fig jam and a tablespoon of caramelized onions. Add an egg white omelet, top with a second slice of toasted bread, and serve with 1 cup of arugula and blueberry salad on the side.

CARAMELIZED ONION, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE MELTS



Caramelized Onion, Apple and Goat Cheese Melts image

Caramelizing onions can be a lesson in patience, but you need to cook these onions for only half the usual time, just enough to break them down and turn them a light golden brown. Once cooked, they make up the bulk of the filling for these sandwiches. Folding the warm onions into the goat cheese softens the cheese, helping it glide easily over the bread. The cheese helps bind everything together, so nothing slips out while the sandwich is toasting in the pan. You can use apples or pears here; either adds some fresh crunch. Seasoned with woody thyme and zippy kalamata olives, this sandwich makes a hearty lunch, or a light supper paired with soup or salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed for frying
1 1/2 pounds Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup soft goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives (about 10 olives)
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices sourdough bread
1/2 pound apples or pears, halved, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add the onions and salt and cook, tossing frequently, until the onions turn creamy and golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Add thyme and red-pepper flakes and stir for another 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the onions to a small bowl and stir in the goat cheese and olives.
  • Place 4 slices of bread on the counter and divide the onion mixture among them, spreading to the edges. Top with the apple or pear slices, then the remaining bread, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Wipe the same skillet down with a paper towel, then add 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil (or more as needed to coat the bottom of the pan) and heat over medium. Working in batches, if needed, add the sandwiches and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing them gently to compress them as they cook, until the bread is toasted and deeply golden brown. If working in batches, add more olive oil as needed and cook remaining sandwiches. Slice and serve.

Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 50m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb prepared pizza dough, room temperature (I used Pizza Dough Bread Machine for one pie)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small sweet onion, sliced
4 -6 fresh figs, cut in half
5 ounces goat cheese (if you can get goat cheese with cranberries it fabulous)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
olive oil
cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a pan saute onions in oil till a caramel color, set aside to cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1 inch thick. You can make it round or square all a matter of taste.
  • Place on a pan that is dusted with corn meal.
  • Spread a thin coat of olive oil on dough.
  • Arrange goat cheese, figs cut side up, cooled onions around on crust.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • ALTERNATE method:.
  • If grilling preheat grill to medium high.
  • Oil one side and place on a clean oiled grill and grill for 4-5 minutes.
  • Flip and then lightly spread olive oil on dough.
  • Arrange goat cheese, figs cut side up, cooled onions around on crust.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Cook a couple more minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect caramelized onions, slice them thinly and cook them over medium-low heat with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until they turn a deep golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Use good quality bread for your sandwiches. A sturdy bread, such as a ciabatta or baguette, will hold up well to the fillings. You can also use a softer bread, such as a white or wheat bread, if you prefer.
  • Spread the goat cheese on the bread before adding the figs and caramelized onions. This will help to prevent the fillings from making the bread soggy.
  • If you are using fresh figs, be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before slicing them. You can also use dried figs, which should be soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Add a drizzle of honey or balsamic vinegar to the sandwiches for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.

Conclusion:

Fig, goat cheese, and caramelized onion sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They are perfect for a picnic or potluck, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying.
