Description
A savory tart filled with caramelized shallots, baby new potatoes, and rich manouri cheese, topped with a golden crust and honey drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 echalion shallots, finely chopped
- 6 sprigs lemon thyme leaves
- 1.5 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp fine salt
- 180 g baby new potatoes
- 1 disc manouri cheese (½ x 170g pack)
- 320 g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp clear honey
Instructions
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt. Fry for 15-20 minutes until golden and caramelized. Mix with lemon thyme, balsamic vinegar, and ½ tsp salt.
- Place baby new potatoes in a saucepan, cover with salted water, boil until tender (15-20 minutes), drain, and cool before slicing.
- Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Rub manouri cheese with the remaining olive oil and char on both sides.
- Slice the cooled new potatoes into 0.5cm thick rounds and preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Unroll puff pastry on a clean surface. Use a 23cm round cake tin to cut out a circle. Score a 3cm circle inside the edge, then spread the shallot mixture.
- Layer potato slices on top of the shallot filling, then place the charred manouri cheese in the center. Fold pastry edges over filling.
- Brush exposed pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle lemon thyme leaves before serving.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cool before slicing to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Manouri cheese can be substituted with a similar cheese if unavailable.
- This tart can be served warm or at room temperature.
