- parchment paper
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups sliced onions sliced root-to-top into ¼-inch thick slices
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Pastry and Cheese
- 8 ounces frozen puff pastry defrosted a couple hours in the fridge
- 2 ounces chilled brie cheese rind removed and diced
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola or other blue cheese diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Caramelize the onions: Heat oil in a large deep pan on medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for about 10 minutes or until wilted and starting to brown. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Reduce heat and cook gently, uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or until richly caramelized. Add a little water if the onions look like they are starting to dry out. Cool.
- Preheat the oven at 400°F.
- Roll pastry into a 10-to-14-inch rectangle and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick with a fork at a couple inch increments to prevent the pastry from forming big bubbles while baking.
- Spread caramelized onions over the pastry, all the way to the edges. Dot with diced cheeses and sprinkle with tarragon. Refrigerate if not baking immediately.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese has melted and pastry is crispy. Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges or squares and enjoy!
Notes
If you can't find tarragon, you may use crushed fennel seeds or fresh chopped fennel fronds.
