  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into rectangles. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spread caramelized onion mixture on each pastry piece, leaving a border. Crumble goat cheese over the onions and sprinkle with thyme.
