Onion Brie Palmier from: Death of a Christmas Caterer a cozy mystery novel
Hayley made these for her office Christmas party
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 sheet puff pastry, room temperature
- 4 oz brie cheese, softened (remove rind)
- 2 tsp caraway seeds
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp water
Instructions
- In a large skillet cook your onions in the butter, brown sugar, and vinegar over medium low heat until the onions are golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Remove the onions with a slotted spoon; cool to room temperature.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll your puff pastry into an 11-inch x 8-inch rectangle.
- Spread the softened Brie cheese over the pastry.
- Cover the cheese with the onions; sprinkle with the caraway seeds.
- Roll up one long side to the middle, and the other side to the middle, so you have two rolls. Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place them on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and flatten to about a 1/4-inch thickness.
- Put in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl beat an egg and some water; remove your onion Brie palmiers from the refrigerator and brush the egg mixture over the tops.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
