Carmelized onion Jam / Crostini

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 medium onions, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 2 teaspoons roasted garlic
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1/2
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup veggie stock
• 16 slices (1/2-inch-thick) baguette-style French bread (from 10-ounce loaf)
• crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or your choice.....
• Granny smith apple slices
• 1Melt butter in 7-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, brown sugar and vinegar in butter 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown.
• 2Set oven control to broil. Place baguette slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
• 3Spoon about 1 teaspoon caramelized onions evenly onto each baguette slice. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese. Broil about 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
• Gorgonzola is a cow's-milk cheese with bluish-green veins, similar in flavor and appearance to other blue cheeses. If you don't have Gorgonzola, any other blue cheese, such as Roquefort, Stilton or Maytag, would be a good substitute.
• The onions can be cooked and refrigerated up to 48 hours ahead of time and reheated in a microwave oven. Assemble the appetizers just before broiling.
• Arrange these tasty appetizers on a pretty platter, and garnish with fresh parsley or another favorite herb. Add a variety of marinated olives from the deli.
