How to Make Andreas Viestad Onion Pie With Jarlsberg And Thyme
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 4 cups thinly sliced yellow onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 2 whole cloves.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
- Season with 1 teaspoon salt to taste.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf, peppercorns, and cloves.
- Line a medium-sized (approximately 9-inch) oven-safe dish with store-bought puff pastry, leaving an overhang for crimping.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly in the puff pastry-lined dish.
- Top with 6 ounces shredded Jarlsberg cheese and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
- Bake on the lowest rack of a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves just before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
