Goat and Onion Puffs

Goat and Onion Puffs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Caramelized Onions:

   • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized.
   • Sprinkle in the sugar and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Cut the Puff Pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares or circles using a knife or cookie cutter, depending on your preferred shape.

4. Assemble the Puffs:

   • Place a small dollop of goat cheese in the center of each puff pastry piece. Top with a spoonful of the caramelized onions.
   • Fold the edges of the puff pastry to enclose the filling, or leave them open for a rustic tart-like appearance.

5. Apply Egg Wash:

   • Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

6. Bake the Puffs:

   • Transfer the assembled puffs to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

7. Garnish and Serve:

   • Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme or chives for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm or at room temperature.
