Another of the good recipes from Kitchen of Light

ONION PIE WITH JARLSBERG & THYME

2 Tbs unsalted butter
4-5 red oniond cut into 1/2 inch slices
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 bay leaf
5 black peppercorns
2-3 whole cloves
fine sea salt
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1 cup grated Jarlsberg, Gouda, Parmesan or Guyere cheese
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add teh onions, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns and cloves and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the onions are soft but not brown. Saeson with salt to taste.

Preheat oven to 400F

Line a medium size ovenproof dish with puff pastry. Remove the cloves, peppercorns and bay leaf from the onions and discard. PLace the onions in the dish and add grated cheese and 1 tsp thyme. Bake in the oven on lowest rack for 15 minutes, oruntil golden brown. Just before serving, sprinkle the other 1 tsp thyme.

norgeskog note: I would use this by cutting puffpastry with glass and line a miniature muffin tin and proceed, nice appetizer selection.

Well hello Audeo!!!!

If wonder if it would be possible to do these like you would ravioli - and have individual bite-size pieces as apps - or even in a mini muffin tin - or regular size even.

Can I add a few eggs and make a quiche out of it? :D Not that it needs improvement, that DOES look great! I'm just curious! :D

[pmartin]

sounds full of flavor.

I don't see why not DC - just follow any quiche recipe and add the onions.
