Ingredients
- 3 rectangular sheets puff pastry thawed in refrigerator
- 2 yellow onions sliced thin
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp water
- 8 oz wheel of brie
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone nonstick baking sheet. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes until deeply brown and they smell sweet.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and brown sugar. Cook for another 5 minutes to reach a consistency similar to jam. Set aside to cool.
- Cut the puff pastry into squares. Use a knife, cut an L shape on the bottom and right hand side. Cut another upside down L shape on the other side of each piece. See process picture.
- Gently place the cut corner over the pastry so it rests on the opposite side. Do the same with the other side. This should have a boat-like effect where each tart now has an outer edge to hold the filling in.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg with about 1 tsp of water till frothy.
- Brush each pastry square with the egg wash.
- Place a piece of brie into each tart square then add some caramelized onion on top of the cheese.
- Place the tarts on the prepared baking sheet then bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the tarts from the oven, some cheese may leak out during cooking which is fine. Enjoy!
