Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200°C and heat a large baking tray inside.
  • Pulse flour, butter, and salt in a processor until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in one beaten egg and 15ml of water to form a dough ball.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface to 3mm thickness.
  • Press chopped walnuts into the pastry using cling film and a rolling pin.
  • Cut eight circles to line the Yorkshire pudding tins and chill in the fridge.
  • Cook shallots in oil over high heat for 2 minutes, then cover and soften for 10 minutes.
  • Add vinegar and sugar, then caramelise for 15 minutes before cooling.
  • Mix goats' cheese, two beaten eggs, and half the parsley until smooth.
  • Prick tart bases, spoon in shallots, and pour cheese mixture on top.
  • Bake on the hot tray for 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
  • Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve.
