Ingredients
- 1 box ready-rolled puff pastry sheets
- 4 shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 oz goat cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
-
Drizzle ½ tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp balsamic per tray in 4 spots. Sprinkle each with thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Place 2 shallot halves, cut-side down, on each seasoned spot.
-
Cut puff pastry into 8 rectangles. Spread each with 1½ tsp goat cheese, then place cheese-side-down over shallots. Crimp edges with a fork.
-
Beat egg with milk and brush over pastry.
-
Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Cool 5 minutes, flip tarts carefully, and serve.
Notes
Storage: Store cooled tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to crisp them back up. Avoid microwaving, as it will soften the pastry.
