We decided our entrée had to be one of our all-time favorites, a <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2015/02/blue-cheese-crusted-filet-mignon-with-port-wine-sauce/">blue-cheese-crusted filet mignon with port wine sauce;</a> but I wanted to try new recipes for an appetizer and dessert.</p> <p><span id="more-10538"></span>The appetizer I had in mind was one I’d previously ordered from an online gourmet food site, a caramelized onion feta pastry bite. Roger and I both thought these appetizers were absolutely delicious with their perfect blend of sweet and savory. They were all too easy to devour with just a bite or two. The downside was that the cost of the appetizers along with shipping meant that I wouldn’t be ordering them again any time soon.</p> <p>So, naturally, I started googling for a similar recipe and got lucky. In the process, I also discovered that Trader Joe’s sells an appetizer which looks to be identical to the one I had ordered (and for much less). Who knew? I suppose I could have just bought some of these appetizers at Trader Joe’s, but where’s the fun in that? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p> <p>I thought these caramelized onion feta pastry bites were every bit as good as the ones I had ordered from the gourmet food site—if not better. And it was the perfect delicious start to a very special dinner.</p> <h2><strong>Caramelized Onion Feta Pastry Bites</strong></h2> <p><strong> <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Printer-friendly-version.docx">Printer-friendly version</a></strong></p> <p>Makes 30 appetizers</p> <p><strong><em>Ingredients</em></strong></p> <ul> <li>One pkg. of puff pastry (I used Pepperidge Farm—it contains two sheets of puff pastry)</li> <li>2 large yellow onions</li> <li>2 tbl. unsalted butter</li> <li>2 tbl. brown sugar</li> <li>1/4 tsp. kosher salt</li> <li>3 oz. feta cheese</li> <li>4 tbl. unsalted butter, melted</li> <li>1/4 cup sour cream</li> <li>1 egg</li> </ul> <p><strong><em>Directions</em></strong></p> <p>Preheat the oven to 400<sup>o</sup> F.

According to David Chang, the founder of the Momofuku restaurant group, it means “lucky peach.” Evidently, it turned out very lucky for him as his restaurants have won Michelin stars; and the Milk Bar Bakery, part of the Momofuku group, has won awards for its creative and delicious desserts.</p> <p><span id="more-9433"></span>Christina Tosi, the very talented pastry chef at Momofuku, created the recipe for these addictive rosemary nuts (even though it doesn’t fall into the dessert category)—thus, the name. With New Year’s Eve upon us and Super Bowl Sunday not far behind, it’s always a plus to have a super easy and tasty appetizer at your disposal.</p> <p>I’ve got lots of recipes for appetizer nuts that call for using egg whites or mixing seasonings with butter, applying, and then baking the nuts. This is the first recipe I’ve seen where you just roast the nuts and then pour on the coating. Easy peasy!</p> <p>If you’re not a fan of rosemary, then choose another herb you like better. I suspect that the nuts would be pretty darn good even if you left the herb out. I also think substituting some spice like cinnamon for the rosemary would work out well, and I plan to experiment a bit with that.</p> <p>If you are as much a fan of roasted nuts as I am, you’ll want to add this recipe to your appetizer repertoire for an easy, addictively delicious snack to offer family and friends. In any event, doesn’t the name alone make you want to try them?
