**Ingredients:**

– 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 3 large onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tsp sugar
– 1/2 cup vegetable broth
– 1/4 cup dry white wine
– 1 tsp thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
– Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 15-20 minutes.

3. Sprinkle sugar over the onions to help with caramelization. Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown color, about 10-15 more minutes.

4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Pour in the vegetable broth, white wine, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the onions are coated in a rich, flavorful sauce.

6. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.

7. Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the onion mixture.

9. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

10. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
