1
["Preheat oven to 375.
2
Line a 8x12"" rimmed baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

In a 10"" skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions, shallots and salt and sprinkle with the salt. Turn the heat to medium and stir the combine everything. Cook slowly for 15-20 minutes until the onions and translucent and very soft, lowering the heat to medium-low if need be to keep them from browning.", "When they're nice and soft, add the Balsamic vinegar and stir to combine. Return the heat to medium-high'ish to evaporate excess liquid. Once the skillet is pretty much dry, remove from heat and using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a mixing bowl.", "On a lightly-floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it's roughly 10x14. Invert it over the parchment-lined baking sheet and pour in about 3/4 of your reserved onion/shallot mixture. Spread them out evenly and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Sprinkle that with crumbled cheese and then with the sliced figs, making sure everything is evenly dispersed. Pour over the rest of the onions and fold the excess puff pastry up around the sides.", "Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for roughly 30 minutes, give or take a couple based on how hot your oven cooks. Remove to a cooling rack and slice into 6 squares after 5-10 minutes. Grind fresh ground pepper over the top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
