Caramelized Onion Bruschetta

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons butter

1 large onion, sliced

1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

12 slices French bread

2 cloves garlic

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

6 to 12 Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

Add To

Directions:

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, thyme and a little salt and pepper. Cook until the onions begin to get soft, about 15 minutes.

Turn the heat up a little, add the brown sugar, and cook until the onions turn golden brown; another 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Toast the bread on both sides in a toaster oven, under the broiler or on the grill.

While the toasted slices are still warm, rub the top side with garlic and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Place a dollop of the caramelized onions on each slice of Bruschetta and top with 1 to 2 of the halved olives.
