Caramelized Onion and Thyme Hand Pies
Sweet caramelized onions and herby thyme combine in these savory hand pies. Yield: 8 ( 4 inch) hand pies
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- ¼ c cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Prepare pie dough.
- In a medium, non-stick frying pan, heat oil. Add onions, and saute over medium-low heat until golden brown and caramelized. (This could take up to 15-20 minutes.)
- Once onions are caramelized, add cream cheese, thyme, and salt. Stir over low heat until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
- Separate pie dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball into a 4" diameter circle. Once all the dough has been rolled, begin to fill the hand pies. Place 2 -3 tablespoon of filling slightly off-center of each circle. Moisten the edges of the dough. Fold dough over filling and press firmly around the edge to seal.
- Repeat with remaining and filling.
- Bake hand pies for 25-30 minutes on a cookie sheet, until golden brown.
