Upside Down Tarts with Onion, Brie, Fig Jam and Thyme
RETURN TO RECIPESSERVES 9 Square Tarts
Have you tried the latest Internet sensation -- Upside Down Tarts? We had to give them a spin! You'll love our savory version featuring caramelized onions, melty brie, fig jam, thyme, and a drizzle of honey. Such a fun and easy appetizer!
- In a large skillet, cook the sliced onions in butter, stirring often, until they are caramelized and light brown in color.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice the puff pastry into 9 square pieces.
- Prepare a sheet pan or baking pan by lining with a piece of parchment paper.
- Assemble the upside down goodies directly on the parchment paper. Drizzle a tiny dollop of honey into nine separate areas. Add a few thyme leaves on top. Add a small pile of the caramelized onions. Stack a few slices of brie cheese, and spread about 1 teaspoon of the fig jam over the brie. Top off the pile with a square of puff pastry.
- Crimp the puff pastry edges with a fork. Brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Turn the tarts over right away; let cool slightly.
Enjoy while still warm!
