Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 20–25 minutes.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares or rounds as desired. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of caramelized onions onto each puff pastry piece, leaving a small border.
- Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the onions and top with fresh thyme if using.
- Brush edges of puff pastry with beaten egg.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until pastry is golden and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
These tarts can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving. For a richer flavor, use a combination of goat cheese and cream cheese.
