   • In a large skillet, melt butter and margarine over medium-low heat.
   • Add thinly sliced onions, brown sugar, white wine vinegar, and cider vinegar.
   • Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. This should take about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into an 11×8 inch rectangle.
   • Spread a generous layer of Brie cheese over the entire surface of the pastry.
   • Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the Brie, then sprinkle with caraway seeds.

3. Roll and Slice:

   • Starting from one long side, tightly roll the pastry into a log.
   • Repeat with the other long side, so the two rolls meet in the center.
   • Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the roll into 1/2 inch slices.

4. Chill and Prep for Baking:

   • Place the slices on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each slice.
   • Gently flatten each slice to about 1/4 inch thickness.
   • Refrigerate the prepared slices for 15 minutes to firm up.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
   • Brush the egg wash over the tops of the chilled pastry slices.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once baked, allow the Onion Brie Appetizers to cool slightly before serving.
   • These savory bites are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven. Serve them as a delightful appetizer at your next gathering and watch them disappear!
