Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden and very soft, about 12 minutes. Stir in thyme.
Step 4
Transfer onions to a plate to cool slightly. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Thaw puff pastry sheets at room temperature until pliable, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares (8 total). Place on prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Divide shredded Gruyère among pastry squares, leaving a 0.5-inch border. Top each with caramelized onions.
Step 8
Fold each square diagonally in half to form a triangle. Press edges gently to seal.
Step 9
Brush pastry triangles with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 10
Bake until pastries are puffed and deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
