Sweet Onion-Lemon Butter Canapes image

Provided by Food Network

Yield Makes 32 or 64 canapes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon
1/4 pound butter (8 tablespoons), at room temperature
2 teaspoons full-flavored honey
1 rectangular loaf (about 8 by 5 inches) firm dark bread (not sliced)
1 large sweet/mild onion, peeled
3 tablespoons minced dill
Pepper
Coarse sea salt, preferably fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Scrub lemon. Grate zest. Combine in bowl with butter and honey and whip with wooden spoon until pale and fluffy. Halve lemon and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice. Whip into butter, a teaspoon at a time.
  • With sharp bread knife, slice crust from all sides of the loaf, trimming to make a neat rectangle. Cut lengthwise into slices about 1/4 inch thick (8 long rectangles). Lay 4 slices side by side on each of two cutting boards. Scoop a tablespoon of butter onto each slice. With flexible spatula, spread evenly to edges. Chill.
  • Quarter onion, cutting through "poles." Cut lengthwise into thin slices. Arrange 4 slices on each long bread slice to nearly cover, leaving a little space between onions. Sprinkle a stripe of dill down the center of each long slice. Press bread rectangles tightly together to make a single-layer rectangle (about 16 by 7 inches). Cover each with wax paper. Press down with a rolling pin to flatter slightly. Chill until serving time.
  • To serve, grind over pepper and sprinkle with salt. Cut each long slice into 4 sections, cutting between onion for tidiness. Halve each if you like small canapes. Serve at once, so the salt remains crunchy.

These canapés are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go stale, so I'm always looking for new recipes to use it up.
