Description
This Shallot Tarte Tatin brings together caramelized shallots, balsamic glaze, and flaky puff pastry into a savory-sweet tart that’s as comforting as it is impressive.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure your oven-safe skillet is ready.
- In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar until bubbling. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange shallots cut-side down in the skillet. Sprinkle thyme on top and cook for 10 minutes until caramelized.
- Place puff pastry over the shallots, tucking in the edges. Prick with a fork.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then flip onto a plate quickly and carefully.
- Slice and serve warm with crème fraîche or salad.
Notes
- Use a plate larger than the skillet when flipping the tart to avoid spills.
- Let the tart rest before flipping to help the glaze set.
- Fresh thyme adds depth, but rosemary or sage can be used as alternatives.
