Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. |
| 2 | Add thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they become transparent and soft, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 10 minutes. |
| 3 | Sprinkle brown sugar over the onions, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Stir well to combine. |
| 4 | Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the onions cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a rich golden brown and become caramelized. |
| 5 | Once the onions are caramelized, season them with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking on low heat until all the moisture evaporates, leaving behind intensely flavorful caramelized onions. |
| 6 | Allow the caramelized onions to cool slightly. |
| 7 | Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the caramelized onions into each pre-baked tart shell. |
| 8 | Top each tart with a sliver of Brie cheese, ensuring even distribution. |
| 9 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 10 | Place the filled tart shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the Brie cheese is melted and gooey, and the tart shells are golden brown. |
| 11 | Once baked to perfection, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. |
| 12 | Serve the Caramelized Onion and Brie Tarts warm, allowing your guests to savor every delectable bite. |
