A delicious tart featuring new potatoes, shallots, and manouri cheese, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 echalion shallots, finely chopped
  • 6 sprigs lemon thyme leaves
  • 1.5 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp fine salt
  • 180 g baby new potatoes
  • 1 disc manouri cheese (½ x 170g pack)
  • 320 g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp clear honey

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt. Fry for 15-20 minutes until golden and caramelized. Mix with lemon thyme, balsamic vinegar, and ½ tsp salt.
  2. Place baby new potatoes in a saucepan, cover with salted water, boil until tender (15-20 minutes), drain, and cool before slicing.
  3. Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Rub manouri cheese with the remaining olive oil and char on both sides.
  4. Slice the cooled new potatoes into 0.5cm thick rounds and preheat your oven to 180°C.
  5. Unroll puff pastry on a clean surface. Use a 23cm round cake tin to cut out a circle. Score a 3cm circle inside the edge, then spread the shallot mixture.
  6. Layer potato slices on top of the shallot filling, then place the charred manouri cheese in the center. Fold pastry edges over filling.
  7. Brush exposed pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Chill for 30 minutes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle lemon thyme leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the shallots are caramelized for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the tart before baking helps maintain its shape.
  • Manouri cheese can be replaced with similar soft cheese if unavailable.
