Ingredients

  • 600 shallots 
  • tbsp olive oil 
  • 25 butter 
  • tbsp balsamic vinegar 
  • tbsp brown sugar light soft
  •  thyme sprigs 
  • 375 g sheets puff pastry 
  • 140 goat cheese sliced into rounds (we used 140g)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Put the shallots into a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave for 10 mins, then drain and peel.
  3. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan.
  4. Add the shallots and fry gently for 10-15 mins until softened and lightly browned. Stir in the vinegar and sugar with leaves from 2 thyme sprigs for a few mins until caramelised. Turn off heat and season.
  5. Tear remaining thyme sprigs into a few pieces and scatter over the base of a 22cm ovenproof shallow pan, cake or tart tin without a loose base. Tip in the shallots with all their sticky juices.
  6. Roll out the pastry until its big enough to cut out a roughly 26cm circle. Lift the pastry circle onto the shallots, then tuck the edges down the inside of the pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 mins until pastry is golden.
  8. Leave tart for 5 mins to settle, then turn out of the tin. Dot with rounds of goats cheese and slice into wedges.
