EASY CARAMELIZED ONIONS CROSTINI

Steps:

• Place the onions in large pot over medium-high heat, with butter and a generous pinch of kosher salt. Cook until the butter melts into the onions and steam begins to come off. Reduce heat to low. To ensure and expedite softening, I cover the onions for about 35 minutes with a lid to build steam and keep the moisture in, stirring every 12-15 minutes. Once you remove the lid, cook for 20 minutes, stirring a few times. During the last 20 minutes, add the white wine and allow it to cook off. Continue cooking until the onions have reached your desired level of caramelization.
• While the onions caramelize, prepare the crostini. Use a pastry brush to lather olive oil onto both sides of the bread. Line the slices on a baking sheet and place on the center rack of the oven. Turn the broiler to 450. Toast slices for 2-4 minutes (depending on your broiler), then remove, flip the bread, and toast the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Allow bread to cool, then spread on goat cheese, caramelized onions, and thyme leaves. Serve warm or chilled.

• Butter bread on both sides using the remaining one (1) tablespoon of butter. Transfer to baking sheet; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden brown (about 10 minutes).
