This week's rather unusual Wednesdays with Donna Hay recipe was Blue Cheese and Caramelised Onion Brioche, chosen by Kayte of Grandma's Kitchen Table. Kayte and I were joined by Margaret and Chaya in making this snack/side dish.
I live in a suburb with a large Jewish population and apparently not that much of a French influence, because I couldn't get brioche even at the French bakeshop, but I could buy challah at the supermarket:
The onion jam that I used was given to me for Christmas by my Pilates instructor, Emilia:
It is homemade, and no, you can't buy it. But if you ask nicely I might be able to get the recipe from Emilia :)
You spread your brioche slices (umm, challah) with onion jam:
then top it with Granny Smith apple slices:
and sprinkle some crumbled blue cheese (I used gorgonzola) on top. You then take the brave move of tipping it upside down into a pan to toast, then flip it over and toast the other side.
What can I say - yum! A really nice combination. Thanks for choosing Kayte. You can visit Kayte, Margaret and Chaya in a few hours to see what they thought.
Next week: Easy apple tart
Wow. This looks pretty delicious, especially since I love bleu cheese!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious! I'm a sucker for caramelized onions and cheese.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you did pilates!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination. So, this is what it looks like. The crunch of the apple with the sweetness of the onions and sharpness of cheese was a delight.
ReplyDeleteI ran into all kind of difficulties with turning the whole thing, in the pan. Then, using shredded cheese and overdosing on it (yum), I had to do something so I could pick it up so I put it in the microwave for a minute and I had melty cheese. It worked although, I butchered the recipe.
This sounds amazing! I love enriched bread, onion jam, apples and blue cheese. Sounds like I would like this, huh?
ReplyDeleteYummy :) I'd love the recipe hehe :P I love caramalised onions hehe
ReplyDeletegreat flavour combo - glad apples are starting to come back into season
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great snack. I have a jar of onion jam in the pantry and will have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination! Definitely will be trying this one, I have all ingredients on hand.
ReplyDeleteLooks great...am behind in making/posting this one, so I apologize for leaving you up in the air for this one. I will make it and catch up soon. I love the combination of these flavors and yours looks really really good.
