Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the red onion, mustard seeds and salt and cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and add the red grapes. Cook, stirring often, until the grapes are starting to break down but still have a little texture, about 10 minutes longer. Allow the mixture to cool completely.

FLATBREAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & 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. My DH & I have been known to devour the whole thing, with a few glasses of wine, on a Saturday night!!

Steps:
- 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. 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.

Steps:
- Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place water in a medium bowl, and sprinkle yeast on top; stir to dissolve. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, flour, and salt; combine. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each into a 1/8-inch-thick round. Lightly brush both sides of each round with olive oil, and place the rounds directly on the hot grill. Grill the flatbread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and season with salt.
Tips:
- Use a hot grill to get a crispy flatbread.
- Cook the onions slowly over medium heat until they are caramelized.
- Use a good quality blue cheese for the mascarpone mixture.
- Add some chopped walnuts or pecans to the mascarpone mixture for extra crunch.
- Serve the flatbread immediately with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Conclusion:
Grilled flatbread topped with caramelized onions and blue cheese mascarpone is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can also be served as a light meal. The combination of sweet onions, tangy blue cheese, and creamy mascarpone is irresistible, and the crunchy red grapes add a refreshing touch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flatbread that is both delicious and impressive.
