Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions

Something that might surprise you is that I don’t meal plan or print out recipes as regularly as you might think. The truth is, I really love finding ways to be creative in the kitchen using whatever ingredients I have on hand or are in season in the moment.

When my friends at Milk Means More proposed a “Meal Kit Challenge” recently, I was immediately on board! A huge fan of the Food Network and the show Chopped, I was eager and excited for the challenge.

My kit included five ingredients that I was required to use in my recipe including an onion, rosemary, pepper jelly, brie cheese and wonton wrappers. Game on!

Since I knew right away I wanted to make baked brie, I decided to turn the wonton wrappers into crispy crackers seasoned with olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. They took 3 minutes to make and cook up in about 7-9 minutes. Easy enough, right? (PS: You can do this with tortillas, pita bread and more.)

While the crackers were baking, I slowly caramelized the onion until it turned golden brown and slightly sweet. I knew the sweetness of the onions would pair well with the creamy brie cheese and mildly spicy pepper jelly.

The end result? A crowd-pleasing appetizer that I literally couldn’t stop eating. Great for entertaining, date night at home or hosting a girl’s night, I can’t recommend this baked brie appetizer recipe enough!

No forks required.

  1. Please suggest a wine pairing. Usually I have Chardonnay, but the sweet onions and pepper jelly change the flavor profile. I welcome suggestions.
