Oh my gosh, can I say heavenly??? We had a housewarming party at our new place a month or so ago and Karrie made these. They were gone in a few minutes, and wow, can I say delish? So, since we had some left-over filling (which can be frozen, and then thawed) and pastry, I just did up some more onions, and made some more for the fun of it! These would be perfect for any type of party, brunch or shower! Just beware, they are addicting.....
3 Cups (10 oz.) grated smoked Gruyere cheese (we got ours from the counter at Harmons. They just cut off a chunk for us and we ran it through the food processor.
8 oz. Cream cheese softened
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. Fresh Oregano
3/4 tsp. Fresh cracked Pepper
2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
2 Large Sweet Yellow Onions
2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme
Puff Pastry
Mini Muffin Tin
Heat oven to 400. Mix Gruyere, Cream Cheese, Mustard, Oregano, and Pepper in a bowl and set aside. Make sure to set pastry out to thaw according to package directions! Melt butter in a skillet, add Onions. Cook over med-low heat stirring occasionally until caramelized, about an hour. Stir in the thyme and set aside. Flour counter, or pastry mat. Set out pastry dough, and cut (we used a pizza cutter) into small squares. Place a square of pastry into sprayed muffin tin and press down. Fill all holes in tin with pastry. Next, place a small spoonful of cheese mixture into pastry and spread up on the side a little bit. Repeat with all squares. Then, place a forkful of caramelized onions on cheese mixture until all have been topped. Place in oven and bake 12-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown!
*Variation-You can also cut pastry into rectangular shape and place onto cookie sheet, spread cheese mixture on and then onions on top of that.
*You can freeze Cheese mixture for up to 2 months. When ready to use, just place in refrigerator a day or two ahead of time to thaw, or defrost slowly in microwave stirring frequently.
