  • 2 teaspoonsvegetable oil
  • kosher salt
  • 1/4 cupbalsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoonsugar
  • 1 tablespoonpine nuts
other
  • 1 packagepuff pastry(thawed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Toast nuts on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Toss shallots and vegetable oil on same baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and browned in spots, 20–25 minutes. Let cool. Remove any leathery outer layers.
  2. Meanwhile, bring vinegar and sugar to a simmer in a small skillet over medium-low, swirling occasionally, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp. butter; remove from heat. Arrange shallots, cut side up, in skillet, overlapping slightly if needed and filling in any gaps.
  3. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface just to smooth any creases (if box has 2 sheets of pastry, stack and gently roll out to adhere). Cut out a circle that’s about 1" larger than the bottom of the skillet; prick in several places with a fork. Drape pastry over shallots, tucking edges inside skillet. Bake until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 25–30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook mushrooms and garlic, tossing often, until mushrooms are tender and browned, 5–8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  5. Let tart sit until pastry is cooled slightly, 5–10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a plate. Top with burrata, mushrooms, arugula, Parmesan, and nuts. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt.

My notes

To make this recipe ahead, let the tart cool in pan, then reheat over medium to soften glaze before inverting.
