Puff Pastry with Caramelized Onions and Feta Cheese

Or as I like to say...Ode to Mrs. Puff.

My son can be a little...um....focused in his interests, and for the last several years it's been Spongebob. I'm pretty sure I could win a Spongebob trivia contest, for whatever that will get me.

So I couldn't help thinking of Mrs. Puff after I made these little pastries I saw over at Half-Assed Kitchen.

I'd never worked with puff pastry before, but of course it's pretty easy if you remember to take it out of the freezer about a half hour before you need it. I guess I thought I was just going to slap the filling on there while it was frozen hard as a rock. Here's the recipe: 2 small onions, sliced thinly Olive oil 1-2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar Feta cheese (Or any kind of cheese) 1 box Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheets Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Caramelize onions by sauteing in olive oil over low heat for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. They should turn golden, but not dark brown or charred. After 45 minutes, stir in balsamic vinegar and heat for another 5 to 10 minutes. Lay out one puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Cut into small squares, about 1 inch by 1 inch. *I made mine larger than this* In the center of each square, place a few of the caramelized onion slices and some crumbled feta. Cut second sheet of puff pastry into small squares and lay one over each little mound of onion and feta (creating a sandwich effect). Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Can brush tops with butter/margarine or an egg wash (one egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon water) for a more golden finish. When I got mine out of the oven the top layer had puffed up so much it had flipped over and off the other layer. But it was easy enough to squish back on there. I enjoyed these pretty well and I think Mrs. Puff would approve.
