1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
8 sheets (9x14 inches each) phyllo dough
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1

In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to small bowl. Reserve bacon drippings in pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; add onion and cook 25 to 30 minutes or until deeply caramelized. Stir in vinegar and bacon; cook 1 minute. Let mixture cool 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 sheets phyllo on work surface; brush with a little bit of butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, layering 2 sheets at a time. Leaving a 1-inch border, spread onion mixture evenly over phyllo. Starting at long end of phyllo, roll up phyllo with filling.

Place strudel, seam side down, on rimmed baking sheet; brush with remaining butter. Using a serrated bread knife, cut diagonally slits on top of strudel. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes; cut strudel diagonally into thin slices and serve.
