Cooking Steps

Caramelize onions
1
  • Remove 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium.
  • While the pot heats, peel, then cut onion into 1/8-inch slices.
  • When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, then onions. (NOTE: Save the softened butter for step 4.) Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until golden.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add half the balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark brown. Remove the pot from heat.
Prep and cook bacon
2
  • Meanwhile, halve buns.
  • Core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cut brie into 1/4-inch slices.
  • To a large bowl, add remaining balsamic glaze and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast bacon in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
Cook apples
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
  • Add three-quarters of the apples, then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. 
  • Transfer apples to a plate to cool.
Toast bottom buns
4
  • Meanwhile, spread 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) softened butter on cut sides of buns.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bottom buns, cut-side up. Set top buns aside.
  • Toast bottom buns in the top of the oven for 3-5 min, until warmed. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.) 
Assemble melts and toast
5
  • Spread Dijon on toasted bottom buns. Top with bacon, warm apples and caramelized onions, then brie.
  • On the same parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange assembled bottom buns and buttered top buns, cut-side up. 
  • Toast in the top of the oven for 3-5 min, until brie is slightly melted. (TIP: If you want the brie to be melted more, continue toasting until desired doneness.) 
Finish and serve
6
  • To the bowl with vinaigrette, add spinach, tomatoes and remaining apples. Toss to combine. 
  • When brie is slightly melted, spoon fig spread over top buns, then close melts. Halve crosswise, if you like.
  • Divide melts and salad between plates.
  • Sprinkle salad topping mix over salad.

If you've opted to add bacon, arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast bacon in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
