Lunch: French Onion Toasts

Recipe by Susan Westmoreland These toasts embody the flavors of french onion soup in a dainty appetizer.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. butter
2 lb. onions
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. salt
1 loaf French bread
7 oz. soft goat cheese
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

In 12-inch skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, thyme, and salt; cook 20 minutes or until very soft, stirring frequently. Cook 20 minutes longer or until onions are golden brown, reducing heat to medium-low if onions begin to stick, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange bread slices in jelly-roll pan and toast 8 minutes, turning over once. Cool slightly. Spread goat cheese on toasted bread slices, then top with caramelized onions. Sprinkle toasts with parsley to serve.
