- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper, and cook until deeply caramelized, about 35 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and thyme. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 (3-inch by 3-inch) squares. Transfer squares to the prepared baking sheets.
- Top each square with caramelized onions, leaving a small border. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the onions.
