These simple hors d'oeuvres combine the Mediterranean flavors of dates, rosemary, and balsamic vinegar with buttery Brie. Ingredients:
24 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut french bread baguette (about 12 ounces) |
1 teaspoon butter |
3 cups thinly sliced onion |
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup chopped pitted dates |
4 ounces chopped brie or camembert cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes on each side or until toasted.
3. Lower oven temperature to 300°.
4. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients (through garlic); cook 10 minutes or until onion is translucent, stirring frequently. Increase the heat to medium-high; sauté 4 minutes or until onion begins to brown. Add sugar; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar and Worcestershire; remove from heat. Add dates and cheese; stir until combined.
5. Top each toast with about 2 teaspoons onion mixture. Bake at 300° for 4 minutes or until cheese melts.
