Brie and onion jam crostini
- Serves 12 crostini
Author Notes
I love caramelized onions. For my mom's birthday tea, I wanted a vegetarian tea sandwich for the savory course. I found a log of Brie that worked perfectly. You can always just buy a wheel and slice. All the components can be made a head and then warmed in the oven just before serving. I have used the jam to top chicken and as a spread for hamburgers. —mcms1974
