Onion, Garlic & Brie Bruschetta

Ingredients

2 whole garlic bulbs
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 — 10-1/2 oz. French bread baguette, cut into scant 1/2-in. slices
1 pound Brie cheese, rind removed, thinly sliced

Directions

~Remove papery outer skin from garlic. Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Brush with one tablespoon oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30 to 35 minutes (or until softened). Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

~Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the onion, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in remaining oil for 15 to 20 minutes (or until very tender and browned).

~Place bread on ungreased baking sheets. Broil about three inches from the heat for about three minutes (or until edges are lightly browned).

~Squeeze softened garlic into a small bowl; mash with a fork. Spread over toast. Top with cheese and onion. Broil about three inches from the heat for two minutes (or until cheese is melted).
