If you find yourself running out of ideas for a different appetizer or snack at the 11th hour for a party, pull this recipe out, make it and bake it and you are good to go!
What you'll need:
- 2 Tablespoons of butter
- 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 onions (chopped)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 8 slices of provolone cheese (or any kind of cheese)
- 1 focaccia (from the deli section) or Boboli cheese crust*
*horizontally split in half
What to do:
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Next, melt the butter and the olive oil in your favorite skillet. Then, cook the onions for about 15-20 minutes while stirring frequently. You want the onions to become browned and carmelized as this brings out the sugars in the onions and adds a wonderful flavor. Just make sure you don't over cook the onions so they burn.
Sprinkle the onions with a little salt and pepper and continue to stir.
Next, place the bottom of the split focaccia on an ungreased cookie sheet that you've lined with foil. Place half of the cheese on top of your focaccia. Now, you will finish off by sprinkling with the carmelized onions and the rest of your cheese slices.
The final step is to take the top focaccia slice and place it on top like a sandwich. Wrap the whole thing tightly in aluminum foil and bake it for about 15-20 minutes until you see that the cheese has melted.
Take out of the oven and cool for 5 minutes and then cut into wedges and serve to your hungry crowd.
You can also make this ahead of time, keep refrigerated and then heat it up in the oven before serving. Everyone will love it! Enjoy!
