Description

Ingredients

• 1 box puff pastry (there should be two sheets of it)
• 1 container mascarpone cheese (8 ounces)
• 1/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
• 3 slices prosciutto
• 1/2 large sweet onion
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Allow the puff pastry to defrost (about 45 minutes).
• Once defrosted, lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

• Slice half a sweet onion into rings.
• In a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
• Cook onions until translucent.
• Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Cook until onions are brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, gorgonzola cheese, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
• Push each circle of puff pastry into the bottom of a mini muffin tin.
• Add a small amount of caramelized onion, a small piece of prosciutto and a teaspoon of the mascarpone/gorgonzola mixture.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the tops are slightly browned.
