Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of grated Gruyere cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to slice the onions thinly to ensure they caramelize evenly.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the onions from sticking to the bottom.
- Don't overfill the pastry with the onion mixture, as it may leak out during baking.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
4. Spoon the caramelized onions onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the onions.
6. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
7. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, forming a square shape.
8. Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining egg.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
10. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet caramelized onions and nutty Gruyere cheese.
