Instructions for Caramelized Onion Puff Pastry Pie
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté gently until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden, and caramelized.
Stir in the balsamic glaze and garlic powder, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet and shape it as desired, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the Swiss cheese slices over the pastry, then spread the caramelized onions evenly over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Brush the edges of the pastry with egg white for a beautiful golden finish while baking.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden, and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
