ROASTED CELERY PUFF PASTRIES
Ingredients
1 box of puff pastry sheets
1 & 1/2 cups onion, diced
1 TBL butter
1 & 1/2 cups celery, diced
1 TBL olive oil
2 eggs
2 TBL (heaping) fresh thyme
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Gruyere
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Lightly toss celery with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 30 min.
- Melt butter over medium high heat and cook onions until browned, about 10 minutes, salting lightly. Set aside.
- Once the celery is finished, reduce heat to 325.
- Whisk together the cream, eggs, salt and pepper.
- Using a non-stick mini muffin pan as a guide, cut out enough rounds from the dough to make 36, and place in the pan.
- Into each shell, place about 1/4 tsp onion, 1/4 tsp celery, 1/2 tsp cheese, a few leaves of thyme, and top with egg mixture.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
