Time 1h10m

Yield 40 triangles

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb frozen puff pastry (defrosted but cold)
6 ounces brie cheese, diced (rind removed)
6 ounces mild blue cheese, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil or 2 tablespoons parsley

Steps:

Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet.
Add onions; cook until wilted& starting to brown.
Add sugar, vinegar, salt& pepper.
Reduce heat& cook gently for 15- 25 minutes or until onions are caramelized& brown.
Cool.
Roll pastry into a rectangle approximately 12 x 16 inches. I don't use the sheets of puff pastry - I prefer to use the 375gm package of Tenderflake Puff Pastry. I start rolling it out on my counter, then I transfer it to my baking tray (which has been lined with parchment paper) and roll the pastry to fit the tray. Since puff pastry is very "forgiving", you can "cut & paste" if necessary.
Spread onions over pastry.
Dot with cheese& sprinkle with chervil.
If you are preparing this for a party, you can prepare to this point and refrigerate- then bake later.
Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20- 25 minutes or until cheese has melted& pastry is crisp.
When removed from the oven, it will be puffed right up but allow it to cool for 5 minutes & it will fall back down. Cut into 20 serving pieces - this is easier done with kitchen scissors instead of a knife - then cut each piece in half diagonally.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium yellow onions, quartered and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup butter
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (combination thyme, rosemary and oregano leaves)
1/4 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large skillet, over medium-low heat saute the onions and garlic in butter for 20 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized, stirring with a wooden spoon, throughout the cooking process. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Turn dough onto a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan. Press the dough out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter with your hands; (this does not have to be perfect). Using the handle end of a wooden spoon handle, make deep indentations about 1-inch apart on top of the dough. Top with the caramelized onions and sprinkle with fresh herbs and cheeses. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 400 degrees F until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.
Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan, over medium heat and simmer until reduced by half.
Combine the oil with chili flakes in a small bowl. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to let the chili flavor infuse into the oil
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the balsamic reduction and chili oil before serving.
