Caramelized Onions on Brie - in Puff Pastry

Inspired by one of my favorite combo's - brie wrapped in puff pastry - I decided to spice up the recipe for a Christmas party. My rendition featured caramelized onions on top of the brie to add a depth of flavor. All I can see is YUM!

One of the best things about this dish... it's inexpensive! The whole thing will cost you $15 or less!

Ingredients

1 wedge (round) of brie

1 sheet puff pastry

1 medium sweet onion

4 tablespoons butter

balsamic vinaigrette

butterfly crackers

Step One

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Chop the onion in to small pieces. Melt butter in skillet and saute onion in skillet until golden brown (about 20 minutes). Once almost caramelized, splash with balsamic vinaigrette.

While onions are being caramelized, cut off hard part (rind) of brie.

Step Two

Place brie in middle of puff pastry. Put caramelized onions on top of brie. Wrap in puff pastry. Use water to seal edges. Brush with egg wash mixture (egg and water) if desired.

Step Three

Bake in oven on 400 (place brie on parchment paper) for 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 - 30 minutes and serve with crackers...

ENJOY! :)
