Crostini with Onion Confit and Petit Basque Cheese

Onion confit is just onions, cooked long and gently, seasoned with a bit of balsamic vinegar and salt. That’s it. But during hours of simmering, the onions turn caramel-gold and their flavor changes from sharp and pungent to rich and sweet. It’s ridiculously simple to make, provided you have a heavy pan with a tightly-fitting cover (une cocotte!), and a few hours to let the onions reduce to a thick jam. Smear the jam on garlicky crostini and top with a thin shaving of nutty Petit Basque cheese to create an inspired appetizer — or snack!

Strawberries and Triple-Cream Cheese with Basil Cookies

With fresh ripe strawberries in simple vanilla syrup, not only is this cheese course beautiful, it is easy to make and absolutely delicious.
