The cheese pull in this one is the real deal, as is the buttery flakiness in each bite. But the main star of the show are the onions in their silan coating.

This is easy to make for a crowd by cutting out your sandwiches from a large 9×13. But honestly, my husband just had a bowl of the onions plain, so you can always go that route.

SERVES 12

• 2 sheets puff pastry
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 6–7 white onions, cut into half moons
• ¼ tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
• ½ cup vegetable stock
• ¼ cup silan
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp coarse black pepper
• 16 thin slices mozzarella cheese or 3–4 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1 egg, for egg wash
• granulated garlic and salt, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cover the bottom of a 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) baking pan with puff pastry, using your hands to spread it out a little. Bake for 10 minutes.
