A great addition to any buffet - this puff pastry dish tastes great warm, lukewarm, or cold, or serve as an appetizer for your guests. The combination of goat cheese, figs, and caramelized onions is to die for!
2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, finely sliced
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
14 ounces creamy goat cheese
1 orange, zested
1 pinch salt (Optional)
7 fresh figs, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook onions, stirring frequently, until browned, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar, mix well, and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Stir goat cheese and orange zest together in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and spread onto puff pastry. Top with figs and caramelized onions. Sprinkle with thyme leaves.
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed up and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
