Cooking Directions

• 1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, thyme and a little salt and pepper. Cook until the onions begin to get soft. Turn the heat up a little and cook until the onions turn golden brown. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. Toast the bread on both sides in a toaster oven, under the broiler or on the grill.
• 3. While the toasted slices are still warm, rub them with garlic and drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil on one side.
• 4. Place a dollop of the caramelized onions on each slice of bruschetta and top with half an olive.
