Amber’s Caramelized Onion Flatbread
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 (17.5 oz) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tbsp for finishing
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions (about 1 lb.), sliced into ¼" half-moons
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (or ~1 tsp freshly picked leaves)
- 1 tsp Kosher salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 bag Mifroma Switzerland Cheese Blend
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg, extra thyme for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rack on top shelf.
- Slice onions into ¼-inch half-moons.
- In a large sauté pan over low heat, melt butter with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add onions, thyme sprig, and 1 tsp salt. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Uncover the onions and raise the heat to medium. Stir occasionally until onions are golden and jammy (about 10–15 minutes more).
- Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up browned bits. Reduce until liquid is absorbed. Remove the thyme sprig and adjust the seasoning.
- Meanwhile, roll out thawed puff pastry to a 9x14" rectangle. Place on a foil- and parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick with a fork, leaving a 1" edge untouched.
- Prebake pastry for 15 minutes. Rotate the tray and bake another 5–8 minutes until golden. Watch this carefully!
- Assemble flatbread: Spread onion mixture over crust. Top with cheese, thyme, nutmeg (if using), and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Bake again for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Slice into 12 pieces and serve warm.
Tips and Tricks:
Total onion cook time is 25–30 minutes. Be patient - caramelization takes time, but it is worth it!
The puff pastry can overbake if left too long in the second round; keep an eye on it.
