Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté the onions, honey, and salt for approximately 12-15 minutes until onions are golden. Add garlic and thyme and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine lentils with balsamic vinegar.
  4. On a cold, floured surface, gently roll puff pastry out. Cut each sheet into five equal rectangles and place onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Top each rectangle evenly with onions, and both types of cheese, then top with lentils.
  5. Fold pastry edges inward to create a crust. Brush edges with beaten egg, and sprinkle with bagel spice. Bake for 17-23 minutes or until the crust is golden. Top with fresh oregano to finish.
