Banana Tartes Tatin

From Andie Evans
4 servings
active: 30 minutes
total: 30 minutes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 firm ripe bananas, peeled, cut on a diagonal into 1/4"-thick slices
4 6" rounds puff pastry cut from one package of puff pastry, thawed
Vanilla ice cream (optional...but not really)

special equipment:
Four 5"-diameter, 1"-high crème brûlée dishes

Preparation


Preheat oven to 400°. Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Smear bottom of each dish with 1 Tbsp. butter. Sprinkle each evenly with 2 Tbsp. sugar. Overlap slices from 1 banana over sugar, arranging in concentric circles to cover. Top each dish with 1 puff pastry round, tucking in edges of pastry.

Bake until pastry is golden and puffed and filling is bubbly, 20–25 minutes. Invert onto plates and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
