Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush baguette slices with a little olive oil and bake about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Stir in balsamic, chopped cranberries, sugar, salt and orange rind. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Lay crostini on a baking sheet, toasted side up. Sprinkle with some salt. Thinly slice Brie and divide among crostini, on toasted side. Divide the cranberry and caramelized onion mixture among the crostini. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes.
