Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, sliced thinly into semi-circles (roughly 2 1/2 cups)
Salt
Black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese, cold
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
Flour, for rolling
1 whisked egg, for egg wash
Crackers, sliced baguette, apples/pears, for serving on the side

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the sliced onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Once golden, stir in the teaspoon of sugar, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce, stirring to incorporate; allow the onions to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently now, until jam-like and deeply browned; then, add the 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, stir to combine, and remove from pan and allow to cool (you should have roughly 1/2 cup).
  • To prepare the baked brie, lightly flour your work surface, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8" thickness, a bit larger than the wheel of brie (trim the puff pastry a little bit if it's considerably too large for your brie); place the brie in the center of it, spoon over top of it the cooled, balsamic caramelized onions, then fold the puff pastry sheet over top to cover everything, creating a little "package" with pleats.
  • Place the wrapped brie "package" onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and very gently brush some egg wash over the puff pastry (avoid allowing it to pool underneath), and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (or even overnight), covering lightly with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Once ready to bake, place the brie into the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed; allow the baked brie to stand for 10 minutes before serving, to avoid it oozing out too much.
  • To serve, add a couple of decorative sprigs of thyme, and surround the brie with crackers, sliced baguette, or even fruit such as apples or pears.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife: Slicing the brie and onions thinly will ensure even cooking and a better presentation.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: This will bring out their natural sweetness and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A high-quality balsamic vinegar will add a rich, complex flavor to the caramelized onions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the onions, make sure to give them enough space so that they can caramelize properly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will prevent the onions from sticking and burning.
  • Be careful not to overcook the brie: Brie is a soft cheese, so it can easily overcook. Keep an eye on it while it's baking to make sure it doesn't melt completely.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm: Brie and caramelized onion pinwheels are best served warm, so that the brie is melted and gooey.
