Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 30g baby spinach
- 200g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 12 Slices of brie (about 1/4 inch thick)
- salt & pepper
Method
- 1. Thaw a sheet of puff pastry (let it sit on counter for an hour or two).
- 2. Start by making the shallots. Heat up the butter in a medium pan and when it bubbles, throw the shallots in and cook on medium high for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Bring the heat down to medium low and continue cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the shallots are fully cooked and sweet.
- 3. Preheat your oven at 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
- 4. Cut your puff pastry in two, to have to rectangles.
- 5. On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, place your two puff pastry rectangles.
- 6. With the tip of your fingers, lightly brush the boarders of each rectangle with water and gently fold about 1/4 of an inch of the board inward and press down just enough so it stays in place. This will create a nice crust around your tart.
- 7. With the back or a spoon, spread 1 1/2 tbsp of Dijon on each tart. Layer some spinach on top of the Dijon, slightly overlapping each other but not piling them up.
- 8. Put a generous layer of caramelised shallots on each tart, spreading them evenly on the surface.
- 9. Place slices of brie side by side on each rectangle, enough to cover the tarts, about 6 pieces on each.
- 10. Divide the tomatoes in two and place them on top of the brie on each tart. Do the same with the peas.
- 11. Season to taste and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- 12. Take it out of the oven and cut each tart into 4 servings and serve.
