Steps:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and the butter together, followed by the sliced onions. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions wilt and start to brown. At that point add the next three ingredients (sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper). Reduce the heat and cook gently, uncovered for about 20 more minutes or until the onions are completely caramelized. Add a little water if the onions look like they are drying out. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the onions to a separate bowl.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the same pot and sauté (without oil) for a few minutes until they release their moisture. At that point, add a little olive oil and the thyme leaves and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Once the mushrooms start lightly brown, add the sliced potatoes and the fennel seeds. Season everything with some salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes, until the potatoes soften a little. Set the mixture aside to cool.
- Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry and place it on a work surface. Roll it out into a 10"x14" rectangle and remove it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick with a fork every few inches to prevent the pastry from bubbling while it bakes. Using a very sharp knife, score the perimeter of the dough about ¼- to ½-inch from the edge.
- Spread the cooled onions evenly over the puff pastry. Top with the sautéed mushrooms and potatoes and sprinkle with the Gruyère cheese. (Refrigerate if not baking immediately).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the puff pastry on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and crust is nice and golden. Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes then cut it into 20 little rectangles. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions, and carefully unfold it. The dough will look a little rough on the folds, so lightly roll it out using a rolling pin to even out the surface.
- Use a sharp knife to slice 1 inch off of each side. Baste the edges of the square pastry with water using either a basting brush or your finger.
- Then place all the cut edges onto the pastry square, forming a frame. This raised area will be the crust for the tart.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and place the puff pastry on it. Using a fork, prick the bottom of the tart numerous times. This will allow steam to escape without billowing the tart bottom up. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 - 30 minutes. If the tart bottom billows, prick with a sharp knife and gently press down. There's no need to completely flatten it, since the filling will weight it down.
- When cooled, spread the bottom of the tart with the Dijon mustard. You don't need much - it just adds depth of savory-ness.
- Thinly slice the onions using a sharp chef's knife. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Pile in the sliced onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt, using tongs to toss and coat with the butter. The onions will begin to relax in 5 - 10 minutes. At this point, reduce the heat to medium. Sauté for 45 minutes, or browned.
- Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté In a separate pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, 5 twigs of fresh thyme, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt over medium-low heat. Occasionally move around the pan, and sauté until the pan is dry. Mushroom contain a lot of liquid, and this can take 20 minutes or more. The mushrooms will be browned. Remove the thyme twigs when finished.
- Add the mushrooms to the onions and stir to combine.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350˚F. Fill the puff pastry with the onion filling. Add the tomatoes if using. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and lightly sprinkle fresh thyme on top before serving.
- Serve warm. Slice in half or quarters. For an appetizer, slice into small squares.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a mandolin or super-sharp knife, cut onion into paper thin slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and saute until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet over medium-high heat.

Combine caramelized onions with mushrooms and saute together briefly; season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat.

Trim edges by 1/4-inch strips all around; set strips aside. Break 1 egg into a small bowl; beat slightly. Brush edges of pastry with some of the egg. Use trimmed strips to make a raised border on each. Brush entire surface with remaining beaten egg. Prick the interior of pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pale gold, about 10 minutes. If pastry has puffed up inside edge, press it down gently. Set aside.

Add the thyme to the mushroom mixture. Remove cookie sheet from oven and spread with thyme-mushroom mixture. Crumble remaining cheese on top. Just before serving, broil tarts on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until tarts are warm and cheese softens.
