Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces phyllo dough cups
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced onions to the skillet.
Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are fully caramelized.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to the onions. Stir thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the caramelized onions from the heat and let them cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the phyllo dough cups on a baking sheet.
Place a small spoonful of the caramelized onions into each phyllo cup.
Add a small crumble of goat cheese on top of the onions in each cup.
Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cups are lightly crisped and the goat cheese is softened.
Remove the phyllo cups from the oven and drizzle each one lightly with honey.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Serve the phyllo cups warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
