Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese Tarts

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 Yellow Onion (small, thinly sliced)

Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

1/2 oz Unbleached All Purpose Flour

8 ozs Puff Pastry (thawed)

1/2 cup Goat Cheese (crumbled)

2 tbsps Parsley (fresh, chopped)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the onions for an additional 20 minutes, stirring often until golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Use the flour to lightly cover the working surface. Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thickness (1/2 cm). Cut the puff pastry into 2.5 x 3 inch (6 x 8 cm) squares.

5. Gently score a 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around the edges of each square and transfer to the baking sheet.

6. In the center of each square, add a spoonful of the caramelized onions and sprinkle with goat cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and has risen. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
