Onion Brie

This is an easy appetizer to make, but it will look like it took you hours to make.  Caramelized onions and Brie with a hint of sweet and sour. It is the perfect combination to satisfy your hunger.

Ingredients

1 onion, sliced thin
3 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/2 tsp. vinegar
4 oz. Brie cheese, rind removed and softened
1 to 2 tsp. caraway seeds
1 egg
2 tsp. water

Directions

Heat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium low heat.  Stir in onions, brown sugar and vinegar. Cook and stir until golden brown.  Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.

Cut Brie into thin slices.  Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into an 11 x 8-inch rectangle. 

Place the Brie onto the puff pastry, evenly.  

Add the onions evenly over the top of the Brie. Sprinkle the caraway seeds over the top. 

Starting on the long side, roll up the puff pastry like a jellyroll.  Only roll this one side to the middle of the puff pastry. Roll up the other side until it meets in the center with the other side that you just rolled. 

Cut the log into 1/2 inch slices.  Place the puff pastry cut side down onto the prepared baking sheet. With your hand, flatten the puff pastry to 1/4-inch thickness.  

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine egg and water. Mix well.  Brush the egg mixture over the top of each puff pastry slice. 

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve warm.
