Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the onions in a skillet with butter and olive oil over medium heat until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- Simmer the mixture by adding beef broth, salt, and pepper to the caramelized onions. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Prepare the puff pastry by rolling it out on a floured surface and cutting it into 3×3 inch squares.
- Shape the pastry cups by placing the squares into a greased muffin tin and pressing down gently.
- Fill each pastry cup with the onion mixture and top generously with grated Gruyère cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool slightly and garnish with fresh thyme before serving warm.
Notes
Caramelization is key for sweet, rich flavor. Feel free to swap in vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
