The viral upside down Onion Tarts are all I see on my for-you page on Tiktok. I know I’m late to every Tiktok trend there is, but I thought this recipe would be the perfect comeback recipe from my mini hiatus. The original recipe is from @lilygbakes on Tiktok and here’s my little take on it with these delicious whole shallots.

Trust me when I say these tarts are so simple and quick to make. You only need 10 minutes for prep work and you probably already have these ingredients on hand. Definitely feel free to add your twist to these, they are so versatile and they make for the perfect appetisers when hosting. Even better, they make a great little fun activity for your guests, something to keep them pre-occupied.

Ingredients

Olive oil (I used garlic infused olive oil for extra flavour)

Balsamic glaze

Thyme

6-8 shallots, peeled & halved

1-2 puff pastry sheets

Feta cheese, crumbled

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200C/400F and line your baking sheets with baking paper.
2. For each tart, drizzle around 1 tbsp of olive oil onto the parchment, followed by a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper.
3. Decoratively arrange your shallot halves onto the mixture and top with a rectangle piece of puff pastry that is big enough to cover the shallots. Brush with some egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Once baked, let cool slightly. With a bench scraper, carefully flip the tarts. Top with a  sprinkle of feta cheese.
