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.
