Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion in hot butter until soft and caramelized, 30 to 60 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roll puff pastry out on a lightly-floured work surface. Cut out 5-inch circles using a round cutter and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and puffed, about 12 minutes. Transfer puffs to a wire rack to cool completely.

• Bake in the oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

UPSIDE DOWN MUSHROOM GORGONZOLA TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Set aside 12 pretty mushrooms slices. Put the rest of the mushrooms slices in a food processor and pulse until ground into small pieces, about 10 seconds. Add the Gorgonzola, flour, breadcrumbs, tarragon, basil, lemon zest, salt, pepper and eggs. Pulse until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds more.
• Gently roll out the puff pastry to a 10-inch square. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut 12 rounds of dough. Poke the rounds with a fork.
• Lay 1 reserved mushroom slice in the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture over the mushroom in each cup and top with a puff pastry round.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes in the pan before inverting the tartlets. Serve immediately.
