Upside Down Onion Puff Pastry

 

I had to try this upside down puff pastry dish that has been going viral online. I’ve seen it with different fillings, both sweet and savory and decided to go with an onion filling. This was so delicious. I highly recommend. I made my own dough from scratch, but you could get the premade dough from the store to cut down some time.

Here’s the link to the puff pastry recipe I used: https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/puff-pastry/

Ingredients:

• Puff pastry dough 
• Kinder’s salt, pepper, garlic seasoning 
• Olive oil
• Trader Joe’s balsamic glaze
• Thyme 
• Parmesan cheese
• Onions, sliced
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Prepare dough (or buy premade) and cut into pastry sizes 
2. Prepare onions (slice)
3. Create small groups of seasonings (listed above) along with the onions for each pastry 
4. Add pastry over each group and crimp the edges down with a fork.
5. Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water and spread a thin layer on each pastry.
6. Airfry at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
7. Flip over onto plate and serve.
8. Enjoy!

Balsamic Green Beans

 

 

For this dish, I basically used the recipe from Lemons for Lulu but made some modifications according to what I had on hand - substituted basil for rosemary and canadian bacon for pancetta.  For their original recipe, visit their website.
