How to cook deliciously - Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese Bites

1 . Stage

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil and butter. Add onions, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until very onions are very caramelized, about 35 minutes. Stir in vinegar and thyme. Let cool to room temperature.

2 . Stage

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

3 . Stage

On a lightly floured surface, cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 (3"-by-3") squares. Transfer squares to prepared sheets. Top each with about 1 tablespoon onions, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides. Brush exposed edges with egg. Divide goat cheese among squares.

4 . Stage

Bake tarts, rotating sheets front to back halfway through, until puffed and golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Drizzle a little honey on each tart. Top with more thyme and pepper. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
