Place puff pastry slices next to each other and defrost at room temperature. Clean the chicory and cut in half lengthwise. Cut out the stalk. Heat oil and 10 g butter. Fry the chicory halves for about 15 minutes, turning them over. Season with salt, pepper and honey and fry for another 5 minutes.
Place puff pastry slices on top of each other and roll out thinly on a floured work surface. Cut out 6 circles (each approx. 14 cm Ø). Cut or break the cheese into small pieces. Wash the thyme, shake dry and chop the leaves coarsely
Generously grease the tartlet cups (each approx. 11 cm Ø) and sprinkle with 1 level teaspoon of sugar. Spread the rest of the butter in flakes on the 6 tartlets. Place 2 chicory halves with the cut side down, then add cheese and 2/3 of the thyme leaves. Finish with dough circles, press on and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove, turn out onto plates and sprinkle with remaining thyme and pepper. Serve with salad
Waiting time approx. 30 minutes
