Prep: 15 min · Cook: 40 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 2 flatbreads
• 2 medium yellow onions
• 1 medium apple
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. (about 5 min) — 425°F
2. Halve the onions and slice them thinly. Warm the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and salt, then cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Lower the heat if they begin to scorch. (about 25 min) — Medium heat
3. Stir the balsamic vinegar and black pepper into the onions and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. (about 1 min) — Medium-low heat
4. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the onions over them, leaving a small border. Core the apple, slice it thinly, and arrange the slices over the onions. Crumble the goat cheese on top and sprinkle with the thyme. (about 5 min) — 425°F
5. Bake until the flatbread edges are crisp, the apples are tender, and the goat cheese is warm and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. (about 12 min) — 425°F
6. Cool for 2 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm. (about 2 min) — Room temperature
