Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed for 45 minutes
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4–5 Tbs. store-bought fig jam
- Small wedge of gorgonzola cheese (you won’t use the whole thing)
- Minced parsley for garnish
- Coarse salt
- Honey or agave syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté on low heat for 20-30 minutes, adding soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce, until the onions are soft and deeply caramelized.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into 8 squares. Lightly press them into a muffin tin. Spoon caramelized onions into each puff pastry cup. Brush the tips of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Finish the Bites: Once out of the oven, spoon a little fig jam into each puff pastry bite, and crumble a small amount of gorgonzola on top. Garnish with minced parsley and drizzle with honey or agave syrup for added sweetness.
- Serve: Enjoy these puff pastry bites warm as a delightful appetizer!
Notes
- These puff pastry bites are a great make-ahead appetizer; simply assemble and bake just before serving.
- If you don’t have fig jam, you can substitute it with a different fruit jam or chutney for a unique twist!
