Easy Puff Pastry Tarts With Vegetables And Feta Recipes

SPRING VEGETABLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 1 round of frozen puff pastry, parchment-side down, on a baking sheet.
• Remove 1 piece of parchment from the other puff pastry round. Place a plate upside-down onto the pastry. Run a knife along the rim to cut a border out of the circle.
• Beat egg and water together; brush over the puff pastry on the baking sheet. Carefully remove the outer ring from the other round and line it over the edges of the brushed pastry. Brush more egg wash over the border. Prick bottom crust with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately press the bottom of a fork onto the bottom crust to flatten it.
• Combine goat cheese, salt, pepper, cayenne, dill, parsley, and lemon thyme in a bowl. Pour in the rest of the egg wash and cream. Mix until smooth. Spoon filling onto the center of the crust and spread it out toward the border.
• Continue baking until cheese filling is set and crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Let tart cool while preparing the topping.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Boil Romanesco, asparagus, carrots, and snap peas, uncovered, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in the ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
• Toss mixed greens with a little olive oil; place on top of the tart.
• Toss blanched vegetables with salt, remaining olive oil, and lemon juice. Arrange on top of the mixed greens. Tuck radishes and tomatoes into the mixture. Peel away half of each snap pea pod to expose the peas inside; arrange over the tart. Tuck in dill fronds and drizzle some more olive oil on top.

EASY PUFF PASTRY TARTS WITH VEGETABLES AND FETA

Steps:

• Defrost the puff pastry in the refrigerator for two hours or for one hour on the counter.
• Prep the vegetables: slice the zucchini and the squash into thin slices and set them aside on paper towels to absorb the extra moisture. Slice the onion into thin rings and set them aside. Slice the tomato thinly and place on paper towels, topped with another layer of paper towels to ensure that most of the moisture is absorbed. When ready to use, slice each tomato slice into quarters.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Gently unfold the puff pastry from its package. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface and place a sheet of the puff pastry over the flour. Sprinkle additional flour on top. Using an inverted bowl, cut each sheet of puff pastry into 2 rounds, about 5"-6" (from the remaining puff pastry of each sheet, I also cut out two smaller rectangles). Place the pastry rounds on the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you work on the filling.
• Heat a large skillet to medium hot. Add some olive oil to coat and, once heated, add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft and light brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
• To the same heated skillet, add the zucchini slices, season with salt and pepper and sauté on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process with the yellow squash, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Once done, remove from the skillet and let them cool.
• Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator and, using a sharp pairing knife, score a border around each round. Prick the area inside the border with a small fork to prevent the inside part from puffing up too much. Top each round with the onion, then the Feta cheese, and the slices of the vegetables in an overlapping pattern. Sprinkle the tops with some oregano and a drizzle of olive oil, then bake on the middle rack for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Allow the tarts to cool slightly on the pan before removing. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED VEGETABLES AND PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a shallow baking dish or pie dish.
• Place onion, peppers, and garlic in prepared pan. Season with freshly ground pepper, and sprinkle a little olive oil over them. Roast in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until you think the vegetable are done.
• When the vegetables are tender, remove from oven. Spread tomatoes evenly over the vegetables, and sprinkle with feta cheese. Roll out the puff pastry, and place over vegetables.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven, place a tray over the dish, and then flip it upside down so that you have a puff pastry base with the vegetables on top. Serve immediately while the puff pastry is still crisp.
