Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (approximately 8 oz, thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and the mixture thickens. Remove the skillet from heat and let cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth it out, if needed. Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles from the pastry.
Place the pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the edges of each pastry circle with the egg wash.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the caramelized onion mixture onto the center of each pastry circle, spreading it out slightly while leaving a small border.
Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the onions on each tartlet. Sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves on top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up.
Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
