Open-Face Brie, Caramelized Onion, Apple, and Arugula Sandwich

Type of dish: Main Dish

2 medium onions
olive oil
salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 slices ciabatta or focaccia
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-1/2 cups arugula greens
1/2 apple, cored and thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
6 ounces Brie, rind removed, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Slice onions thinly lengthwise. Coat the bottom of a wide saute pan with olive oil (about 2 teaspoons). Heat over medium high until the oil is shimmering, then add the onion slices and stir to coat. Stir occasionally. After 10 minutes, sprinkle some salt and sugar over onions. Cook until deep brown and sweet.

Broil bread for 1 to 3 minutes, until lightly toasted.

Remove bread from broiler. Spread Dijon mustard evenly on untested side. Add arugula, caramelized onions, apples, salt, pepper, Brie, and dried time. Place under broiler again for 1 to 2 minutes, or until Brie melts slightly. Remove from heat, sprinkle with pepper and serve.
