  • 1 tbsp brown sugar.

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme.

  • 1 large whole egg.


Instructions

  • Sauté the thin-sliced red onions inside a wide skillet over medium heat for 25 minutes until soft and golden brown.

  • Stir the brown sugar fresh thyme leaves and sea salt into the skillet and cook for 10 minutes until a sticky glaze forms.

  • Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a floured board and slice it cleanly into 12 equal square dough sheets.
