Ingredients for 6 Onion Puff Pastries
You will likely not use all prepared onion, especially if using just one sheet of puff pastry. The leftover is delicious even on its own.
- 1 sheet puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1.8 oz cream cheese
- 0.35 oz Grana Padano cheese (or Parmesan)
- 1 red onion
- poppy seeds
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pizza Cutter
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Fork
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Baking Tray
- 1 Small Bowl
Preparation of Onion Puff Pastries
Peel the onion and slice it into rings.
In a skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil and a couple of water and let the onion soften over low heat, seasoning with salt and pepper at the end of cooking. It will take about 7/8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
Unroll the puff pastry, gently roll over it with a rolling pin, and divide it into 6 rectangles.
Then, using the tines of a fork, outline the perimeter of each puff pastry as shown in the photo.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the grated cheese to obtain a cream.
Spread this cream inside each puff pastry without crossing the fork’s markings.
Place the cooled onion rings over the cream, lightly salt, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake the onion puff pastries in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 15/20 minutes or until they are slightly golden.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Paola
