Steps:
- DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes. 3. Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until they are completely soft and all of the liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes. 4. Add the garlic and the thyme and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 5. Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to pull up all of the browned bits, and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat. 6. Unfold the thawed sheets of puff pastry and cut out circles from the dough, placing them evenly spaced on the baking sheets. Using a very sharp knife, make four small scores around the perimeter of the dough, about ¼ to ½-inch from the edge. 7. Top the rounds of puff pastry with a small spoonful of the onion and mushroom mixture, trying to keep the filling within the score marks. Top with the shredded Gruyere cheese. Brush the edges of the dough rounds with the egg wash. 8. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 15 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. (Recipe adapted from Closet Cooking)

Tips:
- For the best caramelized onions, cook them low and slow until they are deep golden brown and very soft. This will take about 30 minutes.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the onions by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely, so that they will caramelize evenly.
- If you don't have any puff pastry on hand, you can use pie crust instead. Just be sure to pre-bake the pie crust before filling it with the caramelized onions and cheese.
- To make the tartlets ahead of time, you can bake them and then freeze them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve them, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat them in a preheated oven.
Conclusion:
Caramelized onion tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a light lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
