For this recipe, I used my For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef Rapid-Prep Mandoline, 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet and my Rectangle Stone:
Upright Mandoline
Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.
And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

This stone also turns out the best pizza and flatbreads, appetizers, biscuits and scones, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, brunch braids, and so much more. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, everything cooks consistently and turns out light and crispy.
Natural Clay Cookware
Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Let’s jump right in!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 large onions sliced 1/4″/6 mm thick
- 2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ cup beef broth
- 17.3-ounces puff pastry sheets – thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 cup Gruyere Cheese shredded
- Thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
For the Onions
Slice onion to about ¼”/6 mm thickness. Chop garlic, set aside. Shred Gruyere cheese, set aside.
Heat butter over medium heat in 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet. Add onions, thyme and salt, stir to combine. Cover for five minutes.
Remove lid, add pepper and let onions caramelize until golden brown and jammy over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes. *During this cooking time, add in beef broth as needed to prevent onions from burning. I usually add ¼ cup at a time every 10-12 minutes.
Add in garlic, cooking for one minute, or until fragrant. Remove onion mixture from heat and set aside.
For the Appetizer
Preheat oven to 425⁰F/220⁰C.
Roll puff pastry to 9” x 12”, then use pizza cutter to make three cuts on the 9” side and three cuts on the 12” side, which will give you 16 rectangles per pastry sheet. Freeze puff pastry for 15 minutes and repeat on the remaining puff pastry sheet.
Whisk egg together with water. Brush puff pastry rectangles with egg wash. Place 1 teaspoon of the onion mixture on the bottom. Top with 1 teaspoon Gruyere Cheese, then some fresh thyme.
Place on Rectangle Stone and bake for 15 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
