Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker
  • 1 Mandoline Slicer Optional (wear cut-resistant gloves if you use a mandoline slicer

Ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet
  • 4 Slices of Bacon Diced and Cooked
  • 4 Oz Gruyere Shredded
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Tbsp Milk
  • Fresh Thyme

Caramelized Onion

  • 3 Pounds Onions Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Tsp Chicken Base
  • 2 Tbsps Unsalted Butter Melted

Instructions

  • Thinly slice all the onions and place them in the slow cooker bowl. Add the melted butter and chicken base. Cook on low heat for 7 hours. Then, remove the lid and cook for an additional 3 hours.
  • Dice the bacon and cook it until crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any access fat.
  • In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg and milk. Set aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll the pastry sheet into an 11x10-inch rectangle. Cut into 4 equal squares.
  • Divide the cheese, ½ cup caramelized onion, and bacon between each square. Start with the cheese, then onions, bacon finally, top with a few springs of fresh thyme.
  • Brush the edges with the egg mixture.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add one square. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Or until golden brown.
  • Continue until all pieces have been cooked, enjoy!

Notes

  • Removing the lid will help get a jam-like consistency. You want most of the liquid evaporated. 
  • You won't use all of the caramelized onion. 
  • You will need to cook in batches. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. 
  • Reheat at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
