Caramelized Onion Baked Brie

5 from 1 vote
Topped with a savory and sweet combination of caramelized onion and fig jam, this caramelized onion baked brie is rich and creamy. I love to serve it at any holiday party because it's fancy without the fuss! Serve with toasted baguette or crisp apple slices — or add it to a charcuterie board.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium yellow onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) wheel of brie
  • 1/4 cup fig jam

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Peel the onion then cut it in half and then thin slices. Add the olive oil to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently for 15-20 minutes, until the onion is very soft and turns a dark amber color.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unwrap the paper from the brie, leaving the rind on, and place it in a mini cast iron skillet or oven-safe ramaken or dish. Cut the brie on top in a crosshatch pattern. Top the brie with a generous layer of fig jam and then the caramelized onion.
