Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and tender, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 12 equal squares.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of caramelized onions onto the center of each puff pastry square.
  5. Top the onions with about 1 tablespoon of shredded Gruyère cheese.
  6. Fold the corners of the puff pastry towards the center and pinch to seal, creating a small bite-sized package.
  7. Place the bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with hot honey. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can use store-bought caramelized onion dip instead of caramelizing your own onions.
  • These bites can be assembled a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated. Bake just before serving.
  • You can substitute Swiss or Emmental cheese for Gruyère if needed.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your spice preference.
