Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients so you’re ready to roll! Chop the onion finely and shred your cheese if you haven’t already done so.
Sauté the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt some butter and add the chopped onions. Cook until they turn translucent and fragrant—about 5 minutes should do it.
Mix It Up!: In a bowl, combine your sautéed onions with shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed—the gooey goodness awaits!
Roll Out Your Pastry: Unroll your puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut it into squares—roughly 4×4 inches works best—so they’re ready for filling.
Add Filling & Shape Rolls: Place a spoonful of the cheesy onion mixture in the center of each square. Fold over diagonally to form triangles or roll them up like burritos—your choice!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the tops with egg wash before placing them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
And there you have it! Your kitchen will smell divine as these cheese and onion rolls bake away, enticing everyone nearby.
These cheese and onion rolls are not just tasty but also versatile—you can swap in different cheeses or add herbs for an extra kick! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or reheat later; they’re still delicious!
