Tomato Garden Tarts
Tomato Garden Tarts
These flaky, golden tarts are bursting with fresh flavor from roasted tomatoes, leafy greens, and creamy cheese. Perfect as a light lunch, brunch centerpiece, or backyard dinner, they’re simple to make and full of garden goodness.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1–2 cups fresh spinach or baby greens
- ½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the pastry: Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 2–4 squares or circles. Lightly fold the edges over to form a rim. Prick the center with a fork.
- Layer the filling: Brush the pastry with olive oil. Layer on spinach, followed by cherry tomatoes, then sprinkle with cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Brush the edges: Beat the egg and brush the pastry edges for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the tomatoes are roasted.
- Garnish and serve: Top with fresh parsley or basil just before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
