These bites draw inspiration from French cuisine, where goat cheese, caramelized onions, and puff pastry are frequently combined in savoury tarts and pastries. The balance of sweet onions and tangy chèvre is classic in French cooking, often appearing in rustic dishes from Provence and elegant appetizers in Parisian cafés. Puff pastry, or pâte feuilletée, is another staple of French baking, known for its delicate layers created through repeated folding of dough and butter.
This simplified appetizer brings these traditional elements together in a modern, bite-sized form that is perfect for today’s home cooking.
