Easy Appetizer

I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Fort Lauderdale.  We were visiting my boyfriend's sister and her boyfriend and it was so great to see them! The weather was perfect so we got 3 nice beach days.  Now, unfortunately, it's back to reality!

For this next post, I wanted to share an easy appetizer with you that I came up with recently.  I am a huge fan of goat cheese and when that is mixed with onions, it's the best!  For those of you that haven't tried goat cheese, it's very similar to a cream cheese.  This appetizer is quick and easy and can be ready in about 15 minutes.  Your guests will love it!

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette, cut into 34 pieces
• 1 red onion, sliced into thin pieces
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 4 oz. goat cheese
• olive oil

Directions:

1. Once the baguettes are cut into pieces, brush a little bit of olive oil on each one and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. With the onions, saute them with non-fat cooking spray until they are soft.  Add the sugar and stir, allowing them to carmelize.
3. Top each slice of baguette with a thin layer of goat cheese and top with some of the onion.  Place back under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve warm.
