If you have the time and/or the desire to make your own flat bread or pizza crust, go right ahead. If you choose to keep this quick and fast for friends coming over for a glass of somethin this weekend, and you don’t have a lot of time, this is the way to go. Purchase a Flat bread at your local grocery.

1 Large Flat bread

2 Lg sweet onions very thinly sliced

Olive Oil

1 cup cubed Brie cheese

2 Tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Brown sugar

2-3 sprigs fresh Rosemary

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your grill or oven to 425 deg.

Make the caramelized onions first:

In a skillet melt 2 Tbsp butter and mix in the brown sugar till melted and fully dissolved. Add your onions and coat with the sugary mixture. Turn the heat to med low and cook the onions until they are soft and there is no liquid left in the pan, approx 15-20 minutes.

Assemble the flatbread:

Lay flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread the onions to cover the bread. Sprinkle on the cubed Brie cheese.

Remove the rosemary from one stem and finely chop.

If baking directly on the grill, I allowed 3-5 min watching it carefully as not to burn the bottom. If you choose to bake in the oven, bake for 10-12 minutes on the baking sheet or until the cheese is melted. Lightly sprinkle with sea salt and the freshly chopped rosemary and garnish with the other two sprigs of rosemary.

This flatbread can also be topped with arugula for a fresh crunch on top if you desire.
