Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Мethod of preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a mini muffin tin. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares that fit your muffin tin. Press the squares into the tin to form tartlet shells, then chill in the fridge. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onion, sugar, and salt. Cook until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool slightly, then mix in the fresh thyme leaves. Place a small piece of Brie cheese into each pastry shell, top with caramelized onion, and lightly brush the edges with egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving. These Caramelized Onion and Brie Tartlets are a celebration of flavor, combining sweet, savory, and buttery notes in each bite. Enjoy the harmonic blend of textures and tastes that make this dish unforgettable.
