Heat a pan over low flame.

Dice the onions carefully with a sharp knife, ensuring not to cut all the way through.

Saute the diced onions for 1.5 to 2 hours on low heat until caramelized.

Prepare mini onions by taking off the ends and boiling them in hot water for 1 minute to peel them easily.

After boiling, strain the mini onions and cool them in cold water.

Once the onions are caramelized, prepare the puff pastry dough by taking it out of the fridge after thawing overnight.

Cut the puff pastry dough and add the caramelized onions to it.

Add 1 egg to the onions, ensuring the onions are not too hot to avoid scrambling the egg.

Roll the dough with the onions inside, making sure to seal it well.

Place the rolled dough into a pan, adding any leftover dough pieces around it.

Brush the top with an egg wash and sprinkle minced onions and sesame seeds on top.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 1 hour.
