Caramelized Onion Galette
Ingredients
- 4 cups white or yellow onions – peeled and julienned
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- ½ cup Papa Paulo Port
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry cut into a 10-inch circle
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter and the oil
- Bring to medium heat
- Place the julienne onions in the pan and reduce the heat after one minute
- Slowly caramelize the onions over low heat, stirring constantly so they don’t burn
- After about 15 minutes they should be taking on a nice light brown color
- At this point add the thyme leaves and port. Reduce the port by half.
- Finish with salt and pepper
- Set the onions to one side
- Take the puff pastry circle and prick it with a fork to keep the dough from rising
- Crimp the edges to give them a nice decorative edge
- Place the caramelized onions in the center of the galette, spread them evenly out toward the edges
- Dot the onions with goat cheese
- Place the galette on a sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until golden brown
- Slice in quarters and serve with a small green salad
