Description
These Cider-and-Bourbon-Glazed Shallots are a delightful appetizer that perfectly balance sweet, savory, and boozy flavors. The caramelized shallots are coated in a rich, syrupy glaze made with apple cider and bourbon, creating an irresistible bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
– 1 pound shallots, peeled and halved
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup apple cider
– 2 tablespoons bourbon
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize and turn golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider, bourbon, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the cider-bourbon mixture over the shallots and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the shallots, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Serve the Cider-and-Bourbon-Glazed Shallots warm as an appetizer.
Notes
These shallots can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving. The glaze can also be adjusted to suit your taste preferences, adding more or less bourbon, sugar, or seasoning.
