A delightful twist on a classic cheesy bread, enhanced with aromatic basil and a touch of onion.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep stirring for even melting.
Add the chopped onion and basil to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant.
Stir continuously to avoid burning the onion and basil.
Cut the Brie into small pieces and add it to the saucepan, stirring until fully melted.
Cutting the Brie into smaller pieces helps it melt faster and more evenly.
Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet.
Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts through the crusty bread.
Spread the melted cheese mixture evenly over the bread halves.
Spread the mixture while it's still warm for easier application.
Place the bread halves under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Slice the bread into individual portions and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
