I loved this tart! It was easy to make and the flavors were amazing. The brie and prosciutto were a perfect match and the puff pastry crust was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This tart was okay. The brie and prosciutto were good, but the puff pastry crust was a bit too dry. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this tart. The brie was too mild and the prosciutto was too salty. The puff pastry crust was also a bit dry. I would not recommend this recipe.
