Shallot Tarte Tatin

Step 1

(Since each pie crust is different, also follow your package instructions for baking.) Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the shallots. Cut off the stems. Then cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Melt the butter & sugar in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots.

Step 3

Cook for 5 min, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the vinegar, salt & pepper to the pan. Add a few sprigs or pinches of thyme (optional). Reduce the heat to low & cook for 7 min. Stir frequently.

Step 5

Transfer the caramelized shallots to a greased round baking tin. Spread them out in a single layer.

Step 6

Lay the sheet of pie dough over the dish, folding in the edges.

Step 7

Pierce the dough a few times with a fork. Bake at 400°F for 20 min. Remove from the oven & allow to cool for 5 min.

Step 8

Place a large plate over the pie tin. Holding it firmly in place, flip over the tart. Serve, yum!
