Ingredients

• 1 whole French baguette
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Brush one side of each baguette slice with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add thinly sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Sprinkle the onions with a pinch of salt and the brown sugar. Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by adding the balsamic vinegar. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Spread a small amount of gorgonzola cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 8

Top the gorgonzola with a spoonful of the caramelized onions. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect combination of flavors and textures!
