Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Pleasure - A Delicious Appetizer
Looking for a delicious appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than the Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Pleasure! This dish is a perfect combination of sweet caramelized onions and rich, nutty Gruyere cheese, all wrapped up in a flaky pastry crust.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 cup of grated Gruyere cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Season the onions with salt, pepper, and thyme, and set aside to cool.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, and cut it into 4 equal squares. Place a spoonful of the caramelized onions in the center of each square, and top with a sprinkle of grated Gruyere cheese. Fold the corners of the pastry up and over the filling, and pinch the edges together to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg, and place the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
When the Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Pleasure is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The pastry should be flaky and buttery, with a rich, savory filling of caramelized onions and melted Gruyere cheese. This dish is perfect for serving as an appetizer at a dinner party or holiday gathering.
