Buttery, flaky puff pastry stuffed with seasoned ground beef, sweet caramelized onions, and a thin slice of Swiss cheese. Packing over thirty grams of carbs per pocket, this is a gorgeous pastry bomb that won't fit any low-carb narrative.

Ingredients

4 servings
Ground beef0.75 lb
Yellow onion, sliced thin1 cup
Olive oil1 tbsp
Swiss cheese, sliced4 slices
Puff pastry sheet, thawed1 each
Egg, beaten1 each
Salt0.75 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp

Method

1
In a skillet, caramelize the sliced onions in olive oil over medium-low heat until sweet and deep brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
2
Shape the ground beef into 4 small, thin rectangular patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3
Sear the patties in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes per side just to get color; they do not need to be fully cooked through.
4
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
5
On one half of each pastry square, layer a slice of Swiss cheese, a beef patty, and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
6
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
7
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
8
Air fry the pockets in batches for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
