Miniature Onion Tartlets
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-oz package), thawed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion (12 oz), halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 to 4 flat anchovy fillets, patted dry and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and very thinly sliced lengthwise
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12 1/2-inch square, then trim edges to form a 12-inch square.
- Prick sheet all over with a fork.
- Cut into 36 (2-inch) squares and transfer to 2 buttered large baking sheets, arranging about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes total.
- Transfer squares to a rack and cool until just warm.
- While pastry is baking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in anchovies (to taste) and 1 teaspoon thyme and keep warm, covered.
- Lightly brush tops of pastry squares with remaining tablespoon oil.
- Make a small indentation in center of each square with your finger, then top each with 1 teaspoon onion mixture and a few olive slivers.
- Sprinkle squares with remaining teaspoon thyme.
