French Onion Baked Brie Bites

Make the caramelized onions

1. Slice the onion into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
2. Melt eh butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
3. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onion. Season with a healthy pinch of salt.
4. Cook the onion down, using a wooden spoon to move the onion around the skillet as it cooks down to a deep golden brown color. This may take between 25-40 minutes, depending on your stovetop, as well as how comfortable you feel caramelizing an onion. You may lower the heat as the onion continues cooking down if you’re concerned that you might overcook it.
5. Remove from the skillet and let cool before using.
