Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium white onions thinly sliced
  • ½ tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ brown sugar packed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry defrosted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place onions and oil in cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally for approximately 40 min or until onions are light caramel in color.
  • Add butter, roughly chopped mushrooms, vinegar, and sugar to pan. Heat to a simmer and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until most of the moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°
  • Cut one sheet of puff pastry dough into 9 equal squares. Using a fork, poke holes in the center of each sheet, avoiding 1/4 in border of the dough.
  • Place about 1 tbsp of the onion mushroom filling in the center of each dough square, spreading close to the edges.
  • Transfer the squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment and crumble a little bit of goat cheese on top of each.
  • Use a fork to scramble together the egg and water. Using a pastry or basting brush, brush the 4 edges of each square with the egg wash. This will help them brown.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven to cook for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot or room temperature.
