Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 teaspoons oil
• 1 medium onion thinly sliced
• 2 small apples cored and sliced
• 1/4 cup uncooked grits
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter melted
• 1 egg
• 4 ounces smoked gouda shredded
• minced thyme for garnish

Instructions

 

• In a skillet over medium high heat add the oil and onion, sauté until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 5-8 minutes.
• Add in the apple slices and reduce to medium heat. Toss frequently until the onions are caramelized and the apples are slightly caramelized, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small sauce pan bring the water to a boil, slowly stir in the Grits reduce heat to a simmer and stir occasionally until thick, 5-8 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a bowl combine the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the milk, butter and egg. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the cooled grits breaking up any lumps.
• Spray two 12 cup muffin tins with cooking spray. Add 1 tablespoon of batter to each cup. Bake at 400 degrees until brown and crispy on the edges, 13-15 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool. Reduce oven to 350 degrees.
• Place crostinis on a baking sheet, place a small amount of cheese on top of each, followed by a small amount of onion, apple slice and just a little bit more cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese starts to brown, about 8 minutes.
