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.

Tlačítko na tisk by bylo super!!! Ale Ctrl C a Ctrl V do Wordu to zachrání. Vypadá to úžasně, hned dnes udělám!!! Děkuji
Incase this helps I can save from my iPhone and then print is on drop down. I also love printing recipes.

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
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/
