Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups chopped brown onion about 1 large onion
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch black pepper
- 8 ounce wheel of double cream brie
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and evenly sprinkle with salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deep brown and caramelized about 45 minutes.
- At about 25 minutes into cooking, the onions will begin to stick and leave browned bits in the bottom of the pan. A few tablespoons at a time, deglaze the pan with water, scraping the browned bits from the pan, and repeat as needed.
- Once the onions are caramelized, remove from heat and stir in thyme, garlic, and black pepper. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Unroll the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll to a 10-inch square.
- Place puff pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the wheel of brie into the center of the pastry dough and top with caramelized onions.
- Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
- Fold the dough edges up and around the brie and onions, brushing with the egg wash between any part of the dough folded on top of itself.
- Once the dough is folded around the brie, brush all over with the egg wash. Discard any excess.
- Bake until the puff pastry is evenly browned, about 45 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes, transer to a serving platter and serve with additional crackers.
