This recipe is a spin-off a cherry chicken main dish my husband adores. The combination of sweet, tart and salty flavors provides a contrast that's hard to resist. —Shelley Platten, Amherst, Wisconsin Ingredients:
2 large onions, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
4 teaspoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
2-1/2 cups pitted dark sweet cherries, coarsely chopped |
16 slices french bread (1/2 inch thick), lightly toasted |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the vinegar, brown sugar and garlic salt; reduce heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until onions are caramelized. Stir in the cherries; cook 5 minutes longer or until sauce is syrupy.
2. Place toasted bread on a baking sheet; spoon cherry mixture evenly over toast. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 16 servings.
