Goat Cheese and Tapenade Pastry

Total time: 45 minutes
    Sweet onions, tangy goat goat cheese and salty tapenade... Pour a glass of something fruity.

 Ingredients:

• 3oz (90gr) goat cheese   You don't want the creamy kind in the carton for this but a proper goat cheese: log-shaped and wrapped in paper.  It will have a thin, whitish, rind that is edible.
• 1 onion
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 tbs tapenade
• 1/2 sheet puff pastry

 Instructions:

• Thaw the puff pastry, if needed. 
• Roughly chop the onion.
• Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and sauté until transparent and tender, about 7 minutes.
• Turn heat up and cook, stirring, until they start to get brown, about 5 minutes longer.
• Turn heat to medium low, add sugar and stir until sugar is melted and evenly distributed.
• Let cook over medium low heat until very brown, 10 - 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
• Cut goat cheese into 1/4" (.6cm) slices.
• Lay out puff pastry and cut two squares or circles, 4 - 5 inches (10 - 12cm) each.  
• Lay the cut pastry on a baking sheet and, with a table knife, score a line around the edge of each pastry, about 1/3" (1cm) from the edge.
• Divide the caramelized onions between the two, spreading to the scored lines.
• Lay the goat cheese on top, cutting smaller slices, to roughly cover the onions. 
• Spread tapenade on top of the goat cheese, dividing evenly. 
• Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F (200C) for 12 - 15 minutes, until sides of pastry have puffed around middle and are golden brown. 
• Remove and serve.
