Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sheets of small frozen puff pastry or 1 sheet of large, defrosed in refrigerator overnight
1 jar fig spread or fig jam
6-8 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 pinch of thyme
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 pinches of nutmeg

Steps:

Place onions, butter, oil, thyme, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large saute pan and cook until golden brown and tender. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat. Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut puff pastry along folded lines and gently pull on all sides to stretch out (if using different puff pastry, slice into rectangular pieces about 4-6 inches wide and as long as will fit on baking tray). Place each piece about 1-2 inches apart on baking tray. Prick dough all over with a fork so pastry does not rise. Pre-bake puff pastry for 15 minutes. Remove and spread puff pastry gently and generously with fig spread, making sure to spread all the way to the edge. Top evenly with cheese and onions and bake until bottom and edges are golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice into strips and serve.
