Mini-tarts puff pastry preparation
Place the puff pastry rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and finally a second baking sheet to prevent the dough from rising too much. Bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes until nicely browned.

Caramelized onion preparation
In a saucepan, cook the diced onion and pancetta for about 10 to 20 minutes over medium heat. Add the thyme leaves. Let reduce until all the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
