Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp Italian spices
- 2 shallots
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 4/5 oz Parmesan cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- 3Add the sliced shallots and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and begin to soften.
- 4Drizzle the shallots with 2 tbsp balsamic glaze, sprinkle 1 tsp Italian spices, and continue cooking for another 2 minutes so the glaze caramelizes slightly.
- 5Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp honey, mixing to coat the shallots evenly.
- 6Roll out the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet, trimming to a 20 cm square if necessary.
- 7Evenly distribute the caramelized shallot mixture over the pastry, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- 8Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- 9Allow the mini tarts to cool on the sheet for 2–3 minutes; this helps the topping set and prevents the pastry from becoming soggy.
- 10Cut the sheet into 8–10 individual tart slices, serve warm, and enjoy.
