Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425ºF. Line two baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes.

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the mushroom mixture and 1 teaspoon of the shredded cheese in the center of each square. Brush the egg mixture along the edges of each square, gently fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
  7. Brush the tops and the sides with the egg mixture, sprinkle with coarse salt, thyme and additional cheese. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
