Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large sweet onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 heet puff pastry thawed
- ¼ cup brie cut into 24 small cubes
- 1 Taylor's Gold pear cored and chopped into 24 pieces
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the sliced onions, brown sugar, and salt. Stir and allow to cook until the onions begin to soften and become translucent. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions have caramelized.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the cups of a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Unfold the sheet of puff pastry and cut it into 36 even squares. Place one square into each mini muffin tin cup, pressing the dough down slightly.
- Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and poke down the center of each pastry with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and poke down the center of each pastry again.
- Fill the pastry cups with a bit of caramelized onion, a piece of pear, and top with a piece of brie.
- Bake for another 3 minutes or until the brie is melted. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
