Cyr] If you're looking for an hors d'oeuvre to pass around at your next party, try this recipe for Caramelized Onion and Balsamic Vinegar Bruschetta. I just love how the natural sweetness of the onions is cajoled out of hibernation when patiently cooked. The time required to achieve the onion's amber color results in a remarkably pleasing topping on a slice of toasted baguette. Each bite fills your mouth with a balance of sweet and tart flavors. It's something definitely to reach for when that tray comes your way. [Karla M.

The slow caramelization of the onions, the aged balsamic vinegar, and the fleur de sel makes this dish definitely Tester's Choice worthy. [Eydie Desser] So simple yet divine.

The flavor of the caramelized onions is balanced beautifully by the balsamic vinegar. It's unbelievably rich and tasty when served on the bruschetta that has been brushed with olive oil.

Both my guests and I loved it. I also made it again to serve over steaks. This will become a staple in my home not only to serve as bruschetta but to serve over steaks and roast chicken. This is the fast way to have something similar to a pissaladiere Niçoise for dinner. [Sue Epstein] Delicious! Both my guests and I loved it. I also made it again to serve over steaks.

Even better, leftover caramelized onions can enliven a host of other dishes such as pastas, sandwiches, or an antipasto plate.

The only thing they left out was the patience. The soft flavorful caramelized onions with the crunch and crispness of the bruschetta make it all worth it. Next time I'll use a larger pan and double the batch. I used some super-fresh white onions. It was great. [John Velek] This is a very simple recipe. The only thing they left out was the patience.

Use enough vinegar to taste, though not so much as to overwhelm the caramelized onions. Equally good when made with regular onions or sweet (Vidalia-type) onions. Smaller bruschetta slices are appropriate for appetizers. A good recipe to have in your repertoire, as the ingredients are usually available.

My guests, who have only had the tomato version of this bruschetta, were very impressed. This is an incredibly easy recipe. The balsamic vinegar adds an extra touch of flavor to the caramelized onion. Very tasty. [Bob Wulffen] Wonderful flavors.

This recipe was a lot easier than the caramelized onion recipes I've used in the past. I made this twice, the second time I crumbled gorgonzola cheese on top, and four servings weren't enough. I'll definitely use this recipe again for upcoming holiday get togethers. [Robyn Rice-Foster] This caramelized onion and balsamic vinegar bruschetta hors d’oeuvre was fantastic.

The addition of a few drops of balsamic vinegar provided the crowning essence of flavor at the end.
