OK… so when your instagram reel goes viral and over 2 million people watch a video of an upside down puff pastry onion tart you know it’s probably worth writing the recipe down. So here it is:
- 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 3 banana shallots – peeled and sliced in half from root to tip
- a little olive oil
- a little balsamic vinegar
- fresh thyme
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg, beaten with a splash of milk
- 1 tub of herb cream cheese – I used the amazing Paysan Breton Garlic & Herb
Pre-heat the oven to 170C (fan) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry and divide into 8 even rectangles – set aside
Drizzle a little olive oil onto the baking trays in the places where you’re going to place the pastry (accuracy doesn’t matter here.) I did 4 tarts per tray, so I drizzled in 4 quadrants of the tray.
Drizzle a few dashes of balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle each area with salt and pepper and a little fresh thyme.
Lay your onions onto the oil / seasoned mixture. I used two pieces per tart.
Take one rectangle of pastry and slather it with a teaspoon of cream cheese and then lay it down onto the onions. Repeat with the remaining pastry. Go around each pastry tart with a fork making indentations around the edges.
Brush each tart with the egg wash and then bake for 25 mins or until golden. Once out of the oven allow them to cool for about 5 mins and then flip them over. You may need to run a knife under the tart first.

Eat and of course, enjoy!
Fabulous!
Thanks Kayce x
Wish you had a ” print button to easily.print off. But anyway love this
sorry, will try and sort the print button!
Tlačítko na tisk by bylo super!!! Ale Ctrl C a Ctrl V do Wordu to zachrání. Vypadá to úžasně, hned dnes udělám!!! Děkuji
Awesome to hear!
Incase this helps I can save from my iPhone and then print is on drop down. I also love printing recipes.
Dont know if it helps but I’ve printed a copy by ‘sharing’ the recipe to my own email address.
Just copy and share it with your printer.
HI! Email it to yourself and then print! Doesn’t this look delicious?
A writing pen works 🤠
Or why write it out at all? Just save it on your laptop or phone? Literal electronic pad that you’re using to view this with? People are odd.
Me too, I can’t find a way to print this fabulous sounding recipe, not even emailing to myself.
Guess I’ll have to do the old fashion way, write it out, minus the lovely photo tho.
Or don’t print it? Save it to a folder on your phone or laptop? Save some trees.
I’m going to make this asap!! Yummy!
Yay
I love that, thank you
oh, thank you x
Thank you!! I just jotting the recipe down
It’s a holiday weekend and I will be making
them.
yay, enjoy!
What is a banan shallot…
It’s a shallot. They call them banana shallots here in the uk
You may want to place this recipe or a link in the facebookreel. People there really want to know how to cook this.
Looks absolutely yummy, will try them this weekend!
Does the cream cheese side go down on the onions or face up ?
Down onto the onion.
Just tried it, instructions were simple (I have zero kitchen skills) and easy to follow. My gosh, they turned out great! Thank you!
Yay. Thanks
Can these be prepared an hour or two in advance and eaten at room temp?
Yes absolutely
How early ahead of a party can you make these?
How early can you make these before you want to serve them?
I think no more than 30 mins
What would 170°C be on my regular oven? I really want to try these. They look delicious.
I assume you’re American? That would be 338f
I think they mean conventional, without fan, wondering myself.
Definitely used the fan. As per the recipe.
Any recommendations on using air fryer instead of oven?
I genuinely don’t know but I think I’d lower the temp to 150 and bake for 15 mins and then check. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. I’ll have to try myself and report back.
Hi! Is there anything you recommend to substitute instead of cream cheese? Thanks!
Well it all depends on what you like / don’t like? A vegan cream cheese would work. Or how about some chutney? But also nothing. Plain would be yummy.
Try with Boursin
Hey, I am personally using Vegan cream cheese. You can find Boursin, Tartare and other brands in your supermarkets or online ! You can also use dairy-free options
That sounds great too.
have you found vegan puff pastry?
Yes. It’s quite common here in the uk. In supermarkets
I bought phyllo pastry sheets instead 🤦🏼♀️ how many layers would you use to achieve the ideal thickness?
Ooops!! They’re such different pastry’s I’m Not sure it will work at all. You could try and I’d say as many layers as possible.
Love these! I just found a great list of filling ideas I thought I’d share for those looking for more ideas: https://www.chicaandjo.com/upside-down-puff-pastry-tarts/
Dominic, I’m making this as I type, thank you and wish me good luck! I wish I can send you a picture after they are finished.
Good luck.
I have all the ingredients for once, attempting this tonight, but this already sounds like a delight x
How was it?
Can you recommend a substitution for the egg wash? My daughter is allergic to egg but would like to make this
Try milk or even water would work.
Wish you had a delivery button. These look amazing!!
Awww thank you
Omg I’m going to do these with goat cheese. They look wonderful.
That sounds lovely
For those missing the ‘print’ button.
Just highlight what you want to print
Right click
Choose print!
Or perhaps we don’t print? Why is everyone obsessed with wasting paper?
Saw you on Instagram and loved you immediately, now love the recipes! I had to make this one even though I had nothing for the pastry and too lazy to make scratch -so I used biscuits and took them apart by layers- they still came out all right not totally crunchy a little weighty but am restocking and making them again. I am going to make the Caprese Nicoise salad tonight, so excited!
Thank you for your site and insta! You inspire me to cook and scintillated my senses to eat! LOL
Awww thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed it and happy to inspire. Enjoy the salad.
when you say 170deg C (fan) I’m not sure what that means, is that air fry??
In the uk we use Celsius to measure temperature. I’m the US you use fahrenheight. So 170c would be roughly 338F. Fan means fan assisted oven. (Most modern ovens have a fan assisted setting or a non fan assisted. It makes the oven more efficient and faster but it’s not a necessity.
Thanks You., since I had all my ingredients ready to go when I messaged you I did a little online look around and not as easy as it should be to find that convection and fan assist are pretty much the same. my oven has a convection option so I chose that and set the temp for the equivalen 338F. and you will be glad to hear that the tarts smelled divine as they were cooking and tasted even better!! Thanks for posting this recipe, it was delicious!!!!
