Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 1 egg egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a clean surface and cut each sheet into six equal rectangles, making a total of 12 pieces.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) inside each rectangle, being careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. This will allow the edges to puff up during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a small amount of the goat cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry rectangle, staying within the scored border.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place 4-5 tomato halves (cut side up) on top of the goat cheese mixture in each tart.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust after baking.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cherry tomatoes and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Place the tarts on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Top each tart with a fresh basil leaf for garnish before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
