  • 4 1/2 tbsp butter

  • 3 None large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 oz blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 400°F. 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.
  3. 3
    Reduce oven to 350°F. 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.
