Description

Ingredients

• 1 box puff pastry
• Half sweet onion
• 6 slices bacon
• 3 sprigs of thyme
• 10 ounces double cream brie cheese
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoom freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Allow the puff pastry to defrost, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• With a damp paper towel, clean the mushrooms and remove the stems.
• Chop the mushrooms and thyme.
• Slice the onion into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a medium fry pan.
• Cook the onions over medium heat until they start to brown, about 25 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook until caramelized, about 20 more minutes. Remove to a bowl.
• Cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. In a medium fry pan, cook the bacon. Transfer to a paper towel to drain and remove the grease.
• In the same pan, add olive oil. Cook the mushrooms, about 5-6 minutes. Add the thyme, salt and freshly ground pepper and cook for one more minute. Transfer to a bowl.
• Remove the puff pastry from the box and lay flat on a clean surface.
• Use a 3 inch cookie cutter and make rounds (about 9) per sheet. Place rounds on a baking sheet.
• Using a fork, poke the center of each round, leaving a 1 inch border.
• Cut small pieces of brie (about 1 inch) and place in the center of the puff pastry round.
• Use a teaspoon measure and do one scoop of onions, one scoop of mushrooms and a piece of bacon piled on top.
• Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until slightly browned on top.
