Preparation
Prepare the Endives
Remove the outer leaves if necessary, then cut the endives in half lengthwise. Remove the hard part at their base.
Caramelize the Endives
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Place the endives cut side down and let them brown for a few minutes. Add the honey and balsamic vinegar. Lightly salt and pepper, then let cook on low heat for about 15 minutes. The endives should become tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the Molds
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Distribute the endives into four small individual tart molds, with the caramelized side against the bottom.
Add the Goat Cheese
Crumble the fresh goat cheese over the endives. Add a few coarsely chopped walnut halves.
Cover with Puff Pastry
Cut out four discs of pastry slightly larger than the molds. Place them over the filling and gently tuck the edges inside. Prick each disc with a fork.
Bake the Tarts
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is well risen and golden. Let the tarts rest for two to three minutes before carefully flipping them onto plates.
Add the Burgundy Truffle
Place very thin slices of Burgundy truffle on the still warm tarts. Serve with a few lightly dressed mâche leaves.
Plantin Chef’s tip(s)
Add the truffle when the tatins are still warm, but not hot. This gentle heat will bring out its aromas without altering them.
