Drop about a tablespoon of caramelized onion combination on each one puff pastry square.
Bake them for 20-25 minutes and make certain to rotate the pan midway although for even baking. Top with chopped parsley and serve warm. In the word’s of Ina Garten, how simple is that?
Look at each one of these puff pastry layers and how perfectly they separate from each one other. It’s like taking a chew out of 10 potato chips on the similar time, simply a whole lot less crunchy, and extra buttery. Okay, so in contrast to a potato chip at all, really.
