Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the pastry
Cut the puff pastry into squares and score a border about ½ inch from the edge. Brush the borders with beaten egg.
Bake the base
Air fry the pastry at 375°F for about 6–7 minutes, until puffed and starting to color.
Top & finish
Add the goat cheese and caramelized onion to the centers and air fry 4–5 more minutes, until golden. Drizzle with honey or balsamic and scatter with thyme.
- Scoring a border lets the edges puff up around the filling.
- Par-bake the pastry first so the bottom isn't soggy.
- A little honey balances the tangy goat cheese beautifully.
