🧅 Caramelized Shallot & Feta Tartlets with Spicy Honey Crunch 🧀

Individual puff pastry tarts baked upside-down for a sticky, sizzling, flavor-packed surprise.

It’s a one-bite masterpiece: flaky, swicy, and visually stunning.

Ingredients

For the Tarts (makes 6):

1 sheet all-butter puff pastry, thawed and cut into 6 squares

2 large shallots, peeled and sliced into rings

100 g feta cheese, crumbled

Olive oil or butter (for greasing)

Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

For the Hot Honey:

4 tbsp honey

½ tsp chili flakes

1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

Before the flip:

Picture golden tarts with glossy caramelized tops, layers of sweet shallot, warm feta, and the subtle sting of chili-honey drizzle.

Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or butter.

Make the Hot Honey

In a small saucepan, warm the honey with chili flakes and vinegar until just bubbling. Remove from heat. Spoon about 1 tsp of hot honey into the bottom of each muffin cup.

Layer the Toppings

Add 2–3 rings of shallot on top of the honey. Sprinkle a generous spoonful of crumbled feta over the shallots.

Add the Puff Pastry

Place a square of puff pastry over each cup, tucking in the edges slightly. Use a knife to cut a small slit in the top to release steam.

Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the puff pastry is deep golden and crisp. Let cool for 3–5 minutes in the tin.

The Flip Reveal

Carefully invert the muffin tin onto a serving board or tray. Gently lift to reveal the upside-down tartlets. Drizzle with extra hot honey and garnish with thyme if desired.
