Love a good happy hour appetizer and mocktail, but the streets are crazy this time of year and Hubby and I have really been enjoying these bar top date nights, although by the end theres usually tiny people joining us 😂😂 Caramelized onions, and mushroom tart ✨1 frozen puff pastry ✨2 yellow sweet onions ✨16 oz baby Bella mushrooms sliced (1 container) ✨3 Tablespoon of butter ✨2 Tablespoons evoo ✨2 Tablespoons of soy sauce ✨3 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar ✨1 teaspoon thyme ✨4 cloves minced garlic ✨1 container of TJ truffle dip (or substitute with boursin + Parmesan + truffle oil) ✨6 oz grated gruyere cheese ✨1 egg for egg wash ✨dusting or Parmesan cheese ✨balsamic glaze to drizzle Notes: if you can’t find the Trader Joe’s truffle dip, you can substitute it with boursin and add Parmesan cheese and truffle oil to it. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. 2. In a pan over medium heat, add 2 Tablespoons of butter, 2 Tableapoons evoo, and onions. Lower the heat and let the onions caramelize, stirring occasionally. This will take at least 30 minutes. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat further. 3. In a separate pan, cook the sliced mushrooms over medium heat until all the moisture is drawn out, about 10 minutes. 4. Add the cooked mushrooms to the pan with the caramelized onions. 5. Stir in balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, 1 Tablespoon of butter, and minced garlic. Let everything sauté for about 20 minutes until the flavors combine. 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the puff pastry. 7. Score a rectangle on the puff pastry and prick the center with a fork. 8. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash. 9. Layer the puff pastry with Trader Joe’s truffle dip, then cheese, and finally the caramelized onions and mushrooms. 10. Sprinkle the edges with Parmesan cheese. 11. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 12. Serve with balsamic glaze and enjoy!
