Directions

For Caramelized Onions, heat large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to skillet; add onion. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with kosher salt. Set aside.

For Fig Toasts, preheat oven to 450°F. Halve rolls. Spread cut sides of rolls with fig jam; top 1/2-slices Havarti cheese. Place on baking sheet. Bake until cheese is melted and edges of rolls are browned, 5 to 8 minutes.

Top with figs, caramelized onions, and Gorgonzola cheese. Makes 8 servings.
