Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 2 medium peeled and diced beets with 2 tbsp olive oil and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 25 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork, stirring once halfway.
  3. Step 3: While beets roast, melt 1 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and cook for 3 minutes until soft.
  4. Step 4: Remove roasted beets from oven. Spread minced shallot mixture over a sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen), leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Step 5: Arrange roasted beets evenly over shallot mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp thyme leaves and 4 oz crumbled goat cheese.
  6. Step 6: Fold pastry edges over filling and brush with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden.
