Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions (about 500g), thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place puff pastry on top.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low. Add onions and salt; cook 20–25 minutes, stirring until golden. Add balsamic vinegar and thyme, then cook 2–3 more minutes.
