Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a tart pan.

Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper; cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the pastry base.

Slice the camembert cheese and arrange it on top of the onions.

Drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar over the cheese.

Beat an egg and brush it over the edges of the pastry for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
