My only complaint about the puffs was that there was far too little filling. So in my version of the dish, I create a pinwheel shape, not only for its undeniably hypnotizing structure, but also to ensure that there is plenty of filling in each and every bite. Using store-bought puff pastry sheets, these pinwheels are the easiest appetizer to feed a crowd or to serve at your next chai (tea) party.
Make onions ahead of time: Make caramelized onions 2-3 days before the party and store in the fridge. Freeze puff pastry log: Assemble the puff pastry log with the caramelized onion and tightly wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply thaw the puff pastry at room temperature until it is soft enough to slice but still firm enough to get clean cuts, and bake immediately.
