Ingredients
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 cups/500 mL)
1 round (200 g) Canadian Brie Cheese, divided in half
4 - 6 cups (1 - 1.5 L) cubes French Bread or baguette
1/4 tsp (1 mL) coarse sea salt

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In large skillet melt butter over medium heat; add onions and cook stirring frequently for 5 min or until onions are tender. Cover; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for 15 min or until golden brown. On large ovenproof platter, arrange Canadian Brie halves (semi-circles) with backs touching and cut edges facing out; spoon caramelized onions on top of each half. (Make ahead: Cover and refrigerate, for up to one day, bring to room temperature before baking or allow extra time for melting). Bake for 8 to 12 min or until the cheese melts and spreads across the platter. Remove from oven; place half of the bread cubes into melted cheese and sprinkle with Sea salt. Serve immediately with remaining bread in a basket alongside the platter with knives to spread once the cheese sets.
