Caramelize the Onions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Add the thyme during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Fill the Tartlet Shells
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place tartlet shells on a baking sheet. Spoon the onion and cheese mixture into each shell, filling them about ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese on top of each tartlet.
