Caramelized Onion and Cheddar Crostini

1. Caramelize the onions: In a large pan, melt 3 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, tender and caramelized, 45-55 minutes. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl.
2. Preheat the oven to 425F.
3. Make the crostini: Coat a large sheet pan with the olive oil and melted butter. Working with one baguette round at a time, spread a layer of caramelized onion on top and place on the prepared sheet pan. Rub the underside of the bread in the oil/butter to ensure it is nicely coated. Leave a sliver of space between each.
4. Place one quarter slice of Tillamook Farmstyle Sharp Cheddar on each baguette round. Bake 12-15 minutes until the underside of the crostini are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
5. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve with sliced chives on top for garnish and enjoy!
