ricotta tart

Tomato Tartlets with Puff Pastry are a flaky, cheesy appetizer, brunch treat, or snack made in just 30 minutes. Each bite is a medley of flaky puff pastry, creamy ricotta, Italian herbs, and juicy tomatoes. Make individual tartlets or one large tart to be sliced and shared at your next party.

Tomato Tartlets with Puff Pastry

8.5 oz sheet puff pastry

¾ cup whole milk ricotta cheese (8 oz)

Parmigiano-Reggiano (4 oz)

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

basil (minced, plus more whole leaves

garlic powder

oregano

½ lb mini heirloom tomatoes

olive oil

Heat oven and prepare puff pastry - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place puff pastry on a cutting board and slice into 9 even pieces. Use a knife to slice rectangles inside of each piece, creating roughly a quarter inch perimeter.

Make ricotta mixture and egg wash - In a bowl, combine ricotta, parmigiano-reggiano, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, and oregano. Whisk an egg in a small bowl and set aside to use as egg wash after assembly.

Assemble tartlets - Place the puff pastry rectangles on the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Spoon and spread roughly 1½ tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the middle rectangle of each puff pastry. Top each piece with sliced tomatoes, brush the tomatoes with olive oil, and brush the edges of each puff pastry rectangle with egg wash.

Bake - Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is golden, turning the baking sheet halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Top with fresh basil, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground pepper and serve.

A light and refreshing Tarragon and Ricotta Summer Tart that&#39;s excellent served chilled for an easy al fresco lunch.

Tarragon and Ricotta Summer Tart

butter

plain flour

salt

water

Ricotta cheese

ml milk

ml cream (double cream/heavy cream)

eggs

Parmesan (finely grated)

fresh tarragon (chopped)

Salt and pepper

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and add the butter in 1-inch cubes. Use your fingertips to quickly rub the butter and flour together until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no large clumps of butter.

Mix the egg yolk and cold water together and add half of it to the flour/butter mixture, swirling it in with one of your hands. Add more of the egg yolk/water one tablespoon at a time, until the pastry comes together into a ball with no crumbs left at the bottom of the bowl. Wrap in plastic food wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius / 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roll the pastry out and fit it into your greased tart case. Prick the base lightly all over with a fork.

Line the inside of the pastry case with parchment paper and fill it with baking beads.

Place the tart crust on a baking tray in the oven and blind-bake it for 15 minutes. Remove the beads, and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until the pastry is a light golden brown.

Shortcrust pastry

Turn the oven down to 175C/345F.

Whisk together the eggs, ricotta, lemon juice, cream, milk, grated parmesan, tarragon, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and leave covered at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to remove the chill.

Pour the tarragon and ricotta tart filling into the baked tart crust and bake for 20-30 minutes. It is done when the center still ripples very slightly when you gently nudge the tray.

Allow the tart to cool completely before refrigerating until chilled.
