Ingredients

Instructions

STEP 1:

puff pastry

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the puff pastry package instructions (usually around 400°F).

STEP 2:

tomato

For best results, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before drizzling small puddles of sundried tomato oil. I’ve tried using aluminum foil before, but the toppings ended up sticking.

STEP 3:

balsamic glaze

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the oil.

STEP 4:

goat cheese
rum
tomato

Place a few sundried tomatoes in each puddle. Add some goat cheese crumbles. Each puddle creates a base for the tart, so season with whatever you would like.

STEP 5:

puff pastry
tomato

Cover the tomato cheese mixture with the puff pastry squares, ensuring that the cheese and sundried tomatoes are completely covered. This will create a golden and flaky crust.

STEP 6:

Seal the edges with a fork to prevent any leakage.

STEP 7:

Brushing the pastry with whisked egg will give it a beautiful shine and help it bake to a perfect golden brown.

STEP 8:

Bake the tart until golden brown and cooked through. 

STEP 9:

Once the tarts are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

STEP 10:

basil

If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. I didn’t have any while making this recipe, so I opted out.
