Here’s the recipe:

1. In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbsp butter and 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 thinly sliced medium yellow onion and cook for 10 minutes until softened and browning. Season with salt and a pinch of sugar and continue sautéing for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown in color. 

2. Add ½ tsp white balsamic vinegar, pepper to taste, and the leaves of 2 sprigs of thyme, and stir to combine. Let cool.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 12” square. Place 1 8-oz wheel of brie in the center of the pastry, top it with caramelized onions, and then wrap the pastry around the cheese, pressing the dough to seal. 

4. Brush with 1 beaten egg and bake in a 400º oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Let the baked brie cool for 10 minutes before slicing into it. Serve with crackers, crostini, apple slices, or your favorite accoutrements.
