Description

A visually stunning and delicious tart featuring a checkerboard pattern of pesto and sun-dried tomato atop flaky puff pastry.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a checkerboard pattern into the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Brush the pastry with egg wash. Spread pesto in alternating squares and top the remaining squares with sun-dried tomatoes.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the entire tart. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
