Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 6 red onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • salt to taste
  • 400 g (14oz) Puff pastry (thawed)
  • 100 g (3.5oz) Gruyère (grated.)
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instruction

  • 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.
