Ingredients
for the onions
- 6 red onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- salt to taste
for the puffs
- 400 g (14oz) Puff pastry thawed
- 100 g (3.5oz) Gruyère grated.
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Ssauté the onions over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until they are soft and golden brown. Be patient as this is where the onions develop their rich flavour.
- When the onions are golden brown, add the sugar, thyme and salt and cook for another 10 minutes over low-medium heat.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F and spray a muffin tray with cooking spray.
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly then cut squares of approximately 5cm x 5cm.
- Fill each with a spoonful of the caramelized onions followed by some grated Gruyère. Take care not to overload with filling as it can burst open when baking.
- Pinch the sides together to encase the filling.
- Brush with the egg wash. Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly then serve.
