Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the shallots in half lengthwise. If they are large, you can quarter them.
- Roughly chop the fresh thyme leaves.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron), cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it is crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once crispy, remove the bacon pieces and set them aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon grease in the skillet. Once melted, add the halved or quartered shallots. Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and starting to caramelize. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cooked shallots with the chopped fresh thyme and stir to combine.
- Reintroduce the cooked bacon pieces to the skillet, mixing them evenly with the shallots and thyme.
- Roll out the two sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure they are slightly larger than your skillet.
- Carefully lay the puff pastry sheets over the top of the shallot and bacon mixture in the skillet. Trim any excess pastry that hangs over the edge.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Once the pastry is done, remove the skillet from the oven.
- Immediately invert the skillet onto a large serving plate, so the shallot and bacon mixture is on top. Be careful, as the skillet will be very hot!
- Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the hot tarte tatin.
- Let the tarte tatin cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your savory Bacon, Shallot, and Thyme Tarte Tatin warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is thoroughly chilled before using for a flakier crust.
- Cook the shallots until deeply caramelized for a richer, sweeter flavor.
- Use fresh thyme for a more vibrant and aromatic result.
- Allow the tarte tatin to cool for a few minutes before flipping it out of the pan to ensure it stays intact.
There you have it—your delectable Bacon, Shallot, and Thyme Tarte Tatin. With its perfect balance of savory and sweet, this dish is destined to become a favorite in your household. Serve it warm and enjoy the mix of crisp pastry, rich caramelized shallots, and the savory combination of bacon and feta cheese. Happy cooking!
