Gorgeous, golden, buttery puff pastry shells stuffed with a sinful, caramelized mixture of sweet onions and fresh figs with creamy gorgonzola oozing throughout. A truly elegant staple for any gathering. Ingredients:
1 24 ct package mini puff pastry shells |
1 med-large white onion, finely sliced |
3/4 cup fresh figs, diced (you may sub dried, but steam or soak first to plump) |
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar |
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola |
salt and pepper to taste |
butter or oil for pan |
Directions:
1. Bake pastry shells according to package's directions. Remove tops and allow to cool.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet with butter or oil over medium heat. Add onions and figs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow to cook 10-15 minutes without browning.
3. Once onions begin to turn golden, add vinegar and continue cooking 20-30 additional minutes, until sticky and caramelized.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Carefully stuff mini shells with onion and fig mixture. If desired, stuff a large crumble of bleu cheese in as well. Top with small crumbles of gorgonzola.
6. Bake shells another 5-7 minutes until pastry is golden and cheese is all lovely and oozy.
7. Serve immediately or allow to cool to room temp before serving.
