EASY CARAMELIZED ONIONS CROSTINI

Steps:

• Place the onions in large pot over medium-high heat, with butter and a generous pinch of kosher salt. Cook until the butter melts into the onions and steam begins to come off. Reduce heat to low. To ensure and expedite softening, I cover the onions for about 35 minutes with a lid to build steam and keep the moisture in, stirring every 12-15 minutes. Once you remove the lid, cook for 20 minutes, stirring a few times. During the last 20 minutes, add the white wine and allow it to cook off. Continue cooking until the onions have reached your desired level of caramelization.
• While the onions caramelize, prepare the crostini. Use a pastry brush to lather olive oil onto both sides of the bread. Line the slices on a baking sheet and place on the center rack of the oven. Turn the broiler to 450. Toast slices for 2-4 minutes (depending on your broiler), then remove, flip the bread, and toast the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Allow bread to cool, then spread on goat cheese, caramelized onions, and thyme leaves. Serve warm or chilled.

CROSTINI WITH GORGONZOLA, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND FIG JAM

Steps:

• To prepare jam, remove stems from figs. Place figs and juice in a food processor; process until figs are coarsely chopped.
• Place fig mixture, 2 cups water, syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until thick. Cool completely.
• To prepare onions, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
• Add onion, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes or until onion is deep golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• While onion cooks, add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup at a time, to keep onion from sticking to pan.
• Spread 1 teaspoon cheese over each baguette slice. Top each slice with about 1 teaspoon onion mixture and 1 teaspoon jam. Sprinkle evenly with thyme leaves.
