Preparation

Step 1

Heat butter and oil in large non-stick skillet or dutch oven over high heat. When foaming subsides, add onions, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to release some moisture, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until onions are deeply browned, about 45 minutes. If onions are scorching, add 1 Tablespoon water and scrape up browned bits.

Step 3

When onions are well browned, add port and cook 5 minutes.

Step 4

In separate bowl, mix blue cheese, milk, cayenne, and black pepper together until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans.

Step 5

Spread blue cheese mixture on toasted bread slices. Top with onions to serve.
