- Garlic Parsley Butter
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves
- In a mini food processor combine all ingredients. Pulse until well combined and garlic and parsley are well chopped. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. Can be made in advance. Keeps in refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
- Onion Jam
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 medium onions thinly sliced (I used a mandoline to get paper thin, even slices)
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar to pan and cook until sugar dissolves, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add onion and garlic to pan can cook until onions are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add balsamic vinegar to mixture and cook 10 minutes longer or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove onion jam to a bowl.
To Prepare Brie:
- Cut wheel of Brie in half. Cut each half into quarters. Slice 1/2 in slices from each quarter.
To toast the bread:
- Lay French bread slices on rimmed baking sheet Brush one side of each slice with melted garlic parsley butter. Place under the broiler until lightly browned. Do not turn. You only want to toast one side. Remove pan from oven and assemble canapés.
To assemble canapés:
- On each slice of toasted French bread, stack a think slice of beef, top with Brie and about a tablespoon of onion jam. Assemble all slices and return baking sheet to a 325 degree oven to melt cheese, about 10 minutes but keep an eye on them. Serve immediately.
