Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (typically 2 sheets) Puff pastry sheets
- 3 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional, chopped) Fresh thyme
- 1 large, for egg wash Egg
- 1 tablespoon (for egg wash) Water
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions until pliable but still cold. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften.
Sprinkle the onions with sugar, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized. Stir in the fresh thyme if using.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, making a total of 12 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of caramelized onions in the center of each square.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares inward over the onions but leave a small opening in the center, pressing the corners gently to seal.
Transfer the assembled puffs to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg wash.
Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
