In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onions, and salt. Cook, stirring, until onions are translucent and just starting to brown. Reduce heat to medium-low, add POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are golden and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Stir in thyme leaves and remove from heat to cool.
While onions are cooking, combine the vinegar, coriander seeds, thyme, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir in POM Wonderful Pomegranate Arils and allow to pickle at least 15 minutes.
Heat oven to 350°F. Place phyllo cups on a baking sheet to make 30 tartlets. Fill each cup with a teaspoon of grated Gruyère. Bake for 2–3 minutes until cups are browned and cheese has melted. Strain pickled POM. Top tartlets with a teaspoon of caramelized onion and pickled pomegranate arils. Garnish with thyme and serve warm.
