If you recall my Obsession  post from a couple of years ago, I fell in love with my neighbor’s homemade fig jam. I spent the entire book club figuring out what else to add to it.

I ended up with what I named the, “Obsession” panini, which was brie with fig jam, caramelized onions and prosciutto all in one melty, delicious ‘grilled cheese’ sandwich.

That same idea is in these brie with caramelized onion appetizer bites

My neighbor gave me some of her homemade fig and citrus jam a few months ago. Although, now that I have a fig tree of my own, I can make my own Fig Jam. This is a super easy appetizer, just warm the brie so that it’s soft and melty, about 10 to 15 minutes, then top with warmed fig jam, thin slices of prosciutto, and caramelized onions. I love the combination of sweet and savory. Serve with fresh fruit, and crackers.

Caramelized onions

One medium onion, caramelized. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, heat brie for about 5 minutes. It should be soft, but not melted. Serve with fig jam, caramelized onions, prosciutto and crackers or fruit.

  1. I just saw this photo on FB, and I want it RIGHT now! OMG. This is SO up my alley…I wish I had some brie to make this tonight! Thank you for adding my Fig Jam link, too! Very kind, Cynthia, and I appreciate it! But I still wish I could have some appetizer now!

      1. Thanks for the reply! I was thinking it’d be fine, so I’m going to try it tonight and let ya know how it turns out!

  2. Oh my gosh girl! I just read your about page. Wow. You have a fun and fabulous bio! It’s funny that we were raised by mothers who were great cooks and rejected cream of whatever soups!!! And you worked and lived at the Orange?! We’ve stayed there multiple times, and when we were in London just for a 2 day layover we ate there. You mus have such good memories. Unlike you, I have zero training, and I understand your perspective, but after everything you’ve done, I think i’s fair for you to be called Chef Cynthia! Seriously, you couldn’t pay me enough to work in a restaurant kitchen. I love that you’ve lived your passion.
