Camelized Onion and Goat Cheese Crostini

I love this recipe for entertaining. Everything can be done and assembled ahead of time and popped in the oven 10 minutes before serving. It is a big hit at all of our family gatherings and when I throw a cocktail party.

Ingredients:

1 large french baguette. cut into bite sized crostini
1 log of goat cheese
5 medium onions, cut in half and sliced thin
2 T. olive oil
1 T. margarine
1 T. brown sugar
salt and pepper

Preparation:

Saute onions in large pan with oil and margarine on medium low heat until soft and dark brown (approx 20 minutes). Add brown sugar, salt, and pepper and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl and set aside.

Toast crostini in a 350 degree oven just until lightly toasted. Spread goat cheese on crostini and top with caramelized onions. Bake in 400 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
