TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TARTS



Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarts image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 individual tarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (17.3 ounces/2 sheets) puff pastry, defrosted
Good olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced yellow onions (2 large onions)
3 large garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus 2 ounces shaved with a vegetable peeler
4 ounces garlic-and-herb goat cheese (recommended: Montrachet)
1 large tomato, cut into four 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons julienned basil leaves

Steps:

  • Unfold a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it lightly to an 11 by 11-inch square. Using a 6-inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide, cut 2 circles from the sheet of puff pastry, discarding the scraps. Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make 4 circles in all. Place the pastry circles on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to low heat and add the onions and garlic. Saute for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are limp and there is almost no moisture remaining in the skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the wine, and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Remove from the heat.
  • Using a sharp paring knife, score a 1/4-inch-wide border around each pastry circle. Prick the pastry inside the score lines with the tines of a fork and sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each round, staying inside the scored border.
  • Place 1/4 of the onion mixture on each circle, again staying within the scored edge. Crumble 1 ounce of goat cheese on top of the onions. Place a slice of tomato in the center of each tart. Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Finally, scatter 4 or 5 shards of Parmesan on each tart.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. The bottom sheet pan may need an extra few minutes in the oven. Serve hot or warm.

ASPARAGUS, HERB AND GOAT CHEESE PUFF PASTRY



Asparagus, Herb and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup ricotta
3 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill fronds
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound thick-stem asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce sheet puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the goat cheese, ricotta and 2 eggs to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the mixture is evenly combined. Next, add the Parmesan, parsley, chives, dill, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse once again to combine all the ingredients. The mixture may look slightly liquidy, but once it bakes the egg will help stabilize the cheese mixture. Set aside.
  • On a separate rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured work space and dust a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the puff pastry out to a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. Add the goat cheese-herb mixture to the puff pastry and spread it out into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around the puff pastry. Nestle in the asparagus into the cheese mixture, alternating directions.
  • To make the egg wash, whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the exposed crust all the way around the edges.
  • Transfer the tart to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese mixture is set, 25 to 30 minutes

ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE AND TARRAGON TART



Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Tarragon Tart image

Because you don't have to make your own crust, this gorgeous asparagus-striped tart is so easy it almost feels like cheating. But it's not. It's just simple yet stunning, effortlessly chic and company-ready. As there are so few ingredients in this recipe that each one makes an impact, be sure to buy a good all-butter brand of puff pastry. If you can manage to serve this tart warm, within an hour of baking, it will be at its absolute best, with crisp pastry that shatters into buttery bits when you bite down and still-runny cheese. But it's also excellent a few hours later, should you want to get all your baking done before your guests arrive. If tarragon isn't your favorite herb, you can use chives, basil or mint instead. And if you can manage to trim all the asparagus to the same length, this tart will be especially neat and orderly looking.

Categories     weekday, pies and tarts, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup goat cheese, at room temperature (4 ounces)
1 large egg, lightly beaten, at room temperature
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup crème fraîche, at room temperature (8 ounces)
All-purpose flour, for dusting the work surface
1 sheet or square all-butter puff pastry, thawed if frozen (about 9 to 14 ounces; brands vary)
8 ounces thin asparagus, woody ends trimmed
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper
Red-pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, use a fork or a wooden spoon to mash together the goat cheese, egg, garlic, tarragon, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Switch to a whisk and beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry.
  • Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Line up the asparagus spears on top, and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt and the grated Parmesan over the asparagus.
  • Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours before serving. Then sprinkle black pepper, red-pepper flakes (if using), the shaved Parmesan and tarragon leaves. Drizzle a little oil on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final result of your tart. Use the best puff pastry, goat cheese, and other ingredients that you can find.
  • Work quickly with the puff pastry: Puff pastry is a delicate dough that can easily become tough if it is overworked. Work quickly to roll out and shape the dough, and avoid over-handling it.
  • Chill the tart before baking: Chilling the tart before baking helps to set the dough and prevent it from shrinking in the oven. This will result in a more evenly baked tart.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the tart: A sharp knife will help you to get clean, even slices of tart. This is especially important if you are serving the tart to guests.

Conclusion:

Puff pastry goat cheese tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky crust, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give this puff pastry goat cheese tart a try.
