Ingredients:
- 3 large sweet onions (approx. 900g), thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1 sheet (250g) all-butter puff pastry, chilled
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp water
- 4 oz (115g) goat cheese (chèvre), crumbled
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced sweet onions and 0.5 tsp kosher salt. Cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden and soft.
- Stir in 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp thyme, and 0.25 tsp black pepper to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from heat and allow the onion jam to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll the chilled 250g puff pastry sheet and cut into six equal rectangles.
- Score a 1/2-inch border around each rectangle with a knife (do not cut all the way through).
- Whisk the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the borders of the pastry with the wash.
- Spread a layer of the cooled onion mixture within the border of each pastry. Top with crumbled goat cheese and drizzle with 1 tbsp honey.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven, and garnish with 1 cup fresh arugula before serving.
