Caramelized Onion Cream Cheese Phyllo Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add onions and cook until they are transparent and starting to colour. Add sugar and continue to cook until the onions are brown.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, smoked Gouda, pepper, caraway seeds and onions.
• Place one sheet of phyllo pastry on work surface with long side towards you. Brush with melted butter. Layer with a second sheet of pastry and brush with butter.
• Spoon one third of the filling along the long edge of the pastry closest to you, leaving 1" at the ends.
• Begin to roll the pastry and filling away from you. After rolling once, fold in the sides. Continue to roll up.
• Repeat with remaining ingredients. You will end up with 3 rolls.
• Place rolls seamside down on a baking sheet.
• Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with caraway seeds.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Cool before cutting.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions, and sauté 15 to 18 minutes or until golden and tender. Stir in vinegar and remaining ingredients; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
