Now that we have kids, my husband and I don't entertain much. But when we do, I serve this savory spread. The combination of goat cheese, garlic and onions always earns rave reviews. Carol Barlow, Berwyn, Illinois Ingredients:
6 to 8 garlic cloves, peeled |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
8 ounces crumbled goat or feta cheese |
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar |
salt and pepper to taste |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
thinly sliced french bread or assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. Place garlic and oil in a pie plate. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender and lightly browned. Add brown sugar; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. 3. Remove garlic from pie plate. Spread onion mixture in pie plate; top with cheese. Place garlic over cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. 4. Mash garlic mixture with a fork. Stir in the vinegar, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with basil.
