Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle or circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the rolled pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Layer the sliced brie cheese on top of the onions, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle the fresh thyme, and additional salt and pepper as desired.
- Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling to create a border, crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of nutty parmesan cheese before baking.
- You can substitute the brie with goat cheese or feta for a different flavor profile.
- This tart can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving for a fresh experience.
