Serves: 4 to 8 as a main course or 32 hors d’oeuvres
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large Spanish onion, halved and sliced thin
  • ¾ cup dried cherries
  • 2 tablespoons kirsch (cherry brandy)
  • 2 cups grated aged Guyere cheese (about 5 ounces)
  • 4 large (7-inch) pocket-less pitas
Instructions
  1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté, stirring frequently, until caramel brown, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile heat cherries and kirsch in a small saucepan over low heat until cherries soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Scatter a portion of onions and cherries, and then cheese over each pita. Bake until chese melts and crust is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Cut each pita into 8 triangles and serve immediately.
