Onion & Goat Cheese Pastries

Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 50 Min

Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 6 bacon strips, chopped
• 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese, cut into 12 slices
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 3 shallots, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg white, beaten
• 1/2 cup white wine

• 2 tsp minced fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 teaspoons in the pan.
3. Add onions, shallots, and sugar to drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

5. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Cut into three 9x3-in. rectangles. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Brush dough with egg white; top with onion mixture and goat cheese. Bake until golden brown, 16-20 minutes.
7. Cut each rectangle into 4 appetizers.
8. Garnish with additional thyme if desired.
