What it is
These are delicate puff pastry parcels filled with sweet, slow-cooked caramelized onions. The pastry is baked until golden and flaky, providing a delightful contrast to the soft, rich onion filling. Each piece is designed for easy serving and enjoyment, offering a savory bite that is both comforting and elegant. They are a convenient way to enjoy a gourmet appetizer or side dish.

- Light lunch option
- Party finger food
To prepare, simply place the frozen pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at the temperature specified on the packaging until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown, and the filling is heated through. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. They are best served warm, allowing the flaky pastry to be enjoyed at its crispiest and the onion filling to be at its most aromatic. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike simpler onion tarts, these pastries feature a rich confit preparation of the onions, meaning they are slowly cooked to develop a deep sweetness and tender texture. The puff pastry provides a lighter, flakier base compared to a shortcrust or tart dough, offering a more refined eating experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for convenient yet elegant appetizers or side dishes will appreciate these pastries.
How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining unbaked pastries frozen in their original packaging. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until ready to bake. Do not refreeze after thawing.
