This Boursin Cheese Topped with Caramelized Onions and Crispy Bacon is the ultimate savory appetizer—creamy, herby cheese paired with sweet onions and salty bacon. Serve it warm or room temp with crackers for an easy, crowd-pleasing starter.
Ingredients
- 5.2 oz package Boursin Cheese I used Garlic and Herb
- 1 white onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 pieces of crispy bacon diced
Instructions
- Remove your Boursin Cheese from the refrigerator and let it get to room temperature while you cook the onions and bacon.
- In a large ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works well), melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions.
- Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until they are soft, deeply caramelized, and have turned a rich golden brown color. Don’t rush this step; slow caramelization is key to developing the sweet onion flavor.
- If the onions start to stick to the pan, you can deglaze it with a tablespoon or two of white wine.
- Season with salt and pepper then remove from heat.
- Add onions to a bowl along with the bacon and mix well.
- Remove the Boursin Cheese from packaging and place on a plate. Top with as much of the caramelized onions and bacon as you’d like and enjoy with crackers.
