🍽️ Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 7 shallots, finely sliced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- A pinch of salt
- A dash of black pepper
- 22 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 1/3 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup thyme leaves
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Frisee for garnish
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
📝 Instructions:
1. Making the Pate Brisee:
- Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse for 5 seconds.
- Add the butter pieces and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a slow, steady stream, add 6 tablespoons of ice water through the feed tube. Pulse until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Divide the dough into two equal balls, flatten into disks, and chill for at least 1 hour.
2. Preparing the Tartlet Shells:
- Set twelve 4-inch bottomless tartlet rings or pans on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Roll out the Pate Brisee to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
- Cut out twelve 5-inch circles and fit them into tartlet rings.
- Prick the pastry with a fork, chill until firm for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Line shells with foil, fill with dry beans or pie weights, and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove beans and foil, then continue baking until slightly golden for 7 to 9 minutes.
3. Caramelizing Shallots and Goat Cheese Filling:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, add shallots, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Cook shallots until deeply caramelized, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- In a food processor, puree goat cheese until smooth, add heavy and sour creams, process until combined.
- Transfer to a bowl, stir in thyme, parsley, and season with pepper.
- Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons filling into each shell, topping with a heaping teaspoon of reserved shallots.
- Bake tartlets until filling sets, about 13 to 15 minutes, rotating once.
4. Serving:
- Allow tartlets to cool slightly on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the rings, sprinkle remaining parsley over tartlets, and garnish each plate with frisee.
- To serve, place tartlets on plates and prepare for a culinary sensation!
