You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Large Onion , thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Water
  • ½ tsp Chopped fresh Thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1 Puff Pastry sheet, thawed (from a 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets)
  • 1 (4-ounce) log fresh mild Goat Cheese , at room temperature

Steps (7 steps, 36 minutes)

  1. 1

    Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 450°F.

  2. 2

    In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the water and deglaze the skillet, loosening any brown bits and cooking until the water evaporates. Stir in the thyme and cook until
    the onion is a deeper brown, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the onion is cooking, cut off 1⁄3 of the pastry sheet, cutting lengthwise along the perforated line. Halve the piece again lengthwise to create 2 (10- x 3-inch) strips. Cut each strip into 8 triangles.

  5. 5

    Place the triangles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, prick the pastry all over with a fork; bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Spread the goat cheese onto the triangles; top with the onions.

  7. 7

    Garnish with the fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
