Goat Cheese Tarts
These tarts look elegant and pretty, but are so easy to make!
Servings: 6 tarts
Ingredients
- One sheet (½ 17.3-ounce package) puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces goat cheese (two 4-ounce logs)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 6 sprigs fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, cut the puff pastry into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into 6x6-inch square. Cut each cheese log into 3 equal portions.
- Arrange each cheese portion on a pastry square. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg. Draw the sides of the pastry up to form a pyramid. Press the edges together halfway up the sides, leaving the center open. Tuck a sprig of basil into the center of each tart.
- Arrange the tarts on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until the cheese softens and the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Serve warm.
