Crostini

Caramelized Onions

Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

Balsamic Reduction

Filet Mignon

Method

Crostini

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Season and Bake

    Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Caramelized Onions

  1. 3

    Slice the Onions

    Thinly slice the yellow onions.

  2. 4

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

  1. 5

    Mince the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 6

    Heat the Cream

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

  3. 7

    Add Gorgonzola

    Stir in the Gorgonzola cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Balsamic Reduction

  1. 8

    Prepare the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes. It should be thick and syrupy.

Filet Mignon

  1. 9

    Season the Steaks

    Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 10

    Sear the Steaks

    In a skillet over high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Assemble the Crostini

    On each crostini, place a slice of filet mignon, followed by a spoonful of caramelized onions and drizzle with gorgonzola cream sauce. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction.

  2. 12

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm.
