Shallot Tartlets - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
2 None large egg yolks
1 None large egg white, lightly beaten
None None FOR THE FILLING
4 1/2 tbsp butter
9 oz shallots, finely chopped
3 None large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 oz blue cheese, crumbled

Preparation

Sift flour into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg yolks and enough water to make ingredients cling together (about 1 tbsp). Press dough into a ball, cover and chill for 30 mins.
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Roll out pastry dough until large enough to line 6 (4 inch) tart pans. Arrange on a baking tray. Prick pastry all over with a fork and bake for 15 mins, or until golden brown. Brush sides and bases with egg white and let cool.
Reduce oven to 350\u00b0F. To make the filling, heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook shallots, stirring constantly, until soft then drain on paper towels. Let cool. Combine eggs, cream, cheese and shallot mixture in a medium bowl. Distribute between tart shells and bake for 15 mins, or until filling is set.
