Roasted Apple, Shallot and Blue Cheese Tart image

This sweet and savory apple tart is both substantial and sophisticated. The chewy, pizza-like crust is fortified with three kinds of flour. The topping is a comforting, mellow jumble of sweet roasted apples and shallots scented with thyme and zipped up with pungent blue cheese.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
5 grams sugar (1 teaspoon)
150 grams all-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups), more as needed
55 grams whole wheat flour (1/2 cup)
60 grams fine cornmeal (1/2 cup)
10 grams fine sea salt (2 1/4 teaspoons), more as needed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 1/4 pounds apples, cored, quartered and sliced 1/4-inch thick
3/4 pound shallots, peeled, trimmed, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
5 thyme branches
3/4 cup finely crumbled blue cheese
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place 3/4 cup lukewarm water in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over water. Let stand until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together both flours, cornmeal and 8 grams (1 3/4 teaspoons) salt. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; stir in yeast mixture and 1/3 cup oil until mixture is combined. If the dough seems dry, add a little more water. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough is smooth and elastic, about 7 to 10 minutes. Or, knead in a mixer or food processor fit with the dough blade for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow to rest at room temperature until dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • While dough rises, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, shallots, 1/4 cup oil, 2 grams ( 1/2 teaspoon) salt, the black pepper and thyme. Spread onto two large baking sheets. Roast, tossing occasionally, until mixture is tender and golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Punch down dough and transfer to baking sheet. Using a rolling pin or your fingers, roll or stretch dough to make an even layer about 3/16-inch thick. Scatter apple-shallot mixture over crust. Scatter cheese on top. Drizzle with oil and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Transfer pan to oven and bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is just melted, 17 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

BALSAMIC CHICORY, PINE NUT & BLUE CHEESE TARTLETS



Balsamic chicory, pine nut & blue cheese tartlets image

Enjoy these balsamic chicory, pine nut and blue cheese tartlets as a part of a picnic or buffet. A sharp goat's cheese or feta would also work well

Provided by Anna Glover

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 red or white chicory (or a mixture), halved lengthways
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
2 rosemary sprigs
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
2 x 275g ready-rolled puff pastry sheets
100g crème fraîche
150g vegetarian soft blue cheese such as dovedale blue, crumbled (see tip)
4 tbsp pine nuts

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the chicory halves into a small roasting tin and drizzle over the vinegar and oil. Toss well to coat the chicory leaves, then season and scatter in the rosemary. Arrange the chicory, cut-side up, in the tin, and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 20 mins until the stalks are just tender when pressed with a knife, and the leaves look soft and wilted. Leave to cool while you make the tartlets, then drain off any excess liquid from the tin.
  • Unroll the pastry sheets onto two baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Cut each into four rectangles, then arrange on the sheets so there's a little space between them. Score a 1cm border on each rectangle with a blunt knife. Season the crème fraîche, then spoon into the middle of each tartlet, spreading it to the border. Scatter about half the cheese inside the borders of the tartlets, then top each with a chicory half, leaving any juices in the roasting tin. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 mins until the pastry is puffed up and golden, and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Scatter with the pine nuts and bake for another 5 mins until golden and toasted. Leave to cool for 5-10 mins before serving.
