Ingredients For

  • Traditional shallots
    Traditional shallots
  • 7 oz
  • 3 tbsp
  • 2 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp
  • 1 pinch
  • x 1

Preparation

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the (peeled and halved) shallots and cook for around 10 minutes until they begin to caramelise. 

2

Add the honey and balsamic vinegar, mix well and continue cooking for another 2 minutes to coat the shallots thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

3

Transfer the caramelised shallots to a 9.5 inches diameter pie dish. Arrange the crumbled goat cheese evenly on the shallots. 

4

Roll out the dough until it is slightly larger than the diameter of your pie dish. Place the dough on the shallots and tuck the edges into the sides. Prick the dough with a knife. Bake for around 25 minutes, or until the pastry is browned and crisp. 

5

Remove the tarte tatin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully turn the tart upside down onto a dish. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve hot.
