Caramelized Onion, Brie and Rosemary Fig Tart

I am a huge fan of Puff Pastry. When I have time I make my own, but the store bought products are quite good. There are so many ways to use delicious Puff Pastry,  savory or sweet! This particular Tart is the perfect cheese and fruit course, combining  Lucious Brie, Caramelized Onion and Fresh Figs all scented with Rosemary. Make these in individual sizes for a first course or light lunch, or make a larger size to cut into portions.
