Place your chopping board and cut the onion into half moon slices. In a pan add 2 tsp olive oil. When the oil is hot enough add the onion and cook stirring occasionally until softened and slightly caramelized. Set it in a bowl for later.

Chop the mushrooms in small pieces. Using the same pan add the rest of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms in the pan and cook until they get a golden color. Add the previously minced garlic, cook shortly and pour the mixture in the same bowl with the onion. In the bowl add the thyme, salt, vinegar and previously crumbled goat cheese. Stir all the ingredients with a spoon and the filling is ready.
