Caramelized Onions, Pear & Brie Bites Drizzled with Honey & Walnuts

I made these on a whim as I was looking for something creative to do with the ingredients that I had on hand.

Ingredients:

• 1 small loaf of ciabatta bread or baguette sliced in 1/2 inch thick pieces - I had olive ciabatta on hand but ideally, I’d opt for plain bread

• 1 wheel of brie cheese

• 2-3 bosque pears sliced thinly

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 medium onion

• 2 tbsp crushed walnuts

• Thyme or rosemary - to sprinkle on top

• Honey - to drizzle

• Sherry - I used Alvear Solero

Method:

1. Heat butter in pan and sauté onions until transparent

2. Add sherry to caramelize the onions to your taste - set aside

3. Line a baking tray with foil and place slices of bread

4. Top with brie cheese slices followed by a teaspoon of the caramelized onions, then pear

5. Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes and then broil for 3-5 minutes

6. Drizzle the honey with a spoon

7. Sprinkle crushed walnuts and dried rosemary or thyme to taste

8. Enjoy!
