Shallot and Goat Cheese Tart
AuthorsefordCategoryAppetizers, pastry, Quick mealsDifficultyBeginnerThis shallot and goats cheese tart makes an amazing appetizer topped with fresh thyme, pomegranate seeds and drizzled with honey.
First, in a medium sized skillet melt down butter putting the shallots flat side down into the pan. Turn heat down to a medium low, cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until shallots are tender.
Once the shallots have cooked, remove from heat and rest to the side to cool.
Preheat oven to 350F/150C.
Next, Lightly flour your surface rolling out the pastry dough to 1/4 in thick.
Cut to desired size (I used half a sheet) and place onto a lined baking tray.
Here, create a rim using a sharp knife to score 1 inch around the edge then brush with butter.
Arrange the shallots and sliced goats cheese inside the middle of the pastry and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry has puffed and turned golden brown.
Finally, sprinkle with pomegranate and more fresh thyme then drizzle with honey before serving.
