Balsamic Shallot Tart ...It's a Good thing!

Balsamic Shallot Tart

Two weeks ago my sister had me over for lunch and made this amazing tart. I'm telling you it was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life! So once home I started to figure out how to make it myself. I guess i could have just asked her for the recipe, but where would the fun be in that? So tonight i tried to recreated it so Daniel could try it. It tasted just as good as the one my sister had made, and it was so easy. So I just had to post the recipe so you could make this yourself. If you make it PLEASE let me know how yours turned out and what you thought of it.

Balsamic Shallot Tart
(This recipe makes two tarts, serves 3 to 4 people)

Ingredients:

10-20 shallots (pealed but not cut)

3 heads of garlic (pealed but not cut)
1 package mushrooms (cut into fourths)
1/2 cup parsley (chopped finely)
1 package of goat cheese (pulled into small pieces)
1 package of puff pastry
1 cup of Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 table spoons of butter
1 table spoon of olive oil
1 egg
pinch of salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large pan (cast iron is best) cook shallots and garlic in melted butter and olive oil, until they start to get golden (about 5 minutes). Once the shallots and garlic get some color on them add salt, pepper, vinegar, water, and  brown sugar. Cook for at least 5 minutes then add mushrooms. Cook until syrupy about another 7 minutes. 

Put puff pastry on a greased baking sheet. fold side up to create a crust. Then poke pastry vigorously with a fork, you want lots of whole (try to avoid poking the crust). Scramble egg in a small bowl then brush the pastries with the egg. Then bake puff pastry for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Take pastries out of the oven and divide shallot mixer between the two tarts, sprinkle with goat cheese and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese becomes warm. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve! This is a very rich meal, so I recommended serving a salad with this tart.

This is a really great meal to serve for guests or as a special date night with your honey. If you have never experienced the wonder of salty sweet, you need to try this tart!

That looks simply mahhhh-velous! Shallots and goat cheese -- a flavor match made in heaven. Will have to give this one a whirl.

[this is good] This looks fantastic for a variety of reasons: I love goat cheese, balsamic vinegar is delicious, and I have a package of puff pastry in my freezer just waiting for inspiration to hit me. What a fortuitous thing to find on the [culture is good] page!

[this is good] I think this may be a join project between myself and the wife.  I'm the cook, she's the baker.

[esto es genial] Very tasty recipe... I just made a few changes (red onions instead of shallots and cow's milk feta cheese instead of goat cheese) and it tasted great.
