Ingredients

  • 1 large onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 Cup water

Instructions

  • First caramelize your onions. In a medium skillet set over a high heat add the olive oil and the onions. Cook over high heat for about 5-8 minutes or until the onions have browned. Remember to stir during this process. Now reduce to medium and splash in some of the water. Let water evaporate and then splash in a bit more . Continue this process until you have used all of your water and the onions are completely caramelized. They will be soft to touch, dark golden in colour and sweet to taste. This will take about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare your goats cheese rounds. Dip each one in the egg whites and then roll in the bread crumbs. Repeat for each goats cheese round and then place them on a wire rack set over a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour before cooking.
  • Lightly toast your bread in the toaster and set aside.
  • To cook the goats cheese, heat the butter in a non stick skillet set over medium heat. Add the goats cheese and cook each side for abut 3 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan and put your bruschettas together.
  • Top each bread slice with the onions, then place a goats cheese round on the top and drizzle with the Balsamic reduction. Best served immediately.
