Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced endives, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the endives are caramelized and softened, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to fit your baking sheet. Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche and eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Arrange the caramelized endives on top of the crème fraîche mixture. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over the endives.
-
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
