I’m going to start off by saying that this was going to be an Asparagus Tart. However, when I came to use the Asparagus it had turned moldy, urgh! That’s the first time I have ever had Asparagus turn so quickly. So with a quick re-think, I came up with the idea of a Sun-Dried Tomato Tart. Oh boy, it was so good, and so easy to make, a simply stunning way of using Sun-Dried Tomatoes.

The wife loves Blue cheese, personally, I can’t stand the thought of eating ‘mold’ and although I like really strong Cheddar, there is something about Blue cheese that I find too strong. In order for us both to enjoy this tart topped off with some cheese. Half was topped with Blue cheese and the other half with Brie.

Serve the Sun-dried tomato tart with a simple salad

We served the tart with a very simple salad, Iceberg lettuce, cucumber, radish, pepper, and the remaining sun-dried tomatoes in order that we didn’t overpower the main element of the meal, aka the tart.

The best part of using a jar of Sun-Dried Tomato and pre-made flaky puff pastry is that it really doesn’t take long to make. The total prep and cooking time is around 30 minutes.

Ingredients

There are just 4 ingredients to this tart!

  • Sun-dried Tomatoes (I used ones from Trader Joes
  • 1 square of pre-made Puff Pastry
  • 1 egg
  • Your favorite cheese, such as Brie or Blue Cheese

How to make the tart

Leave the pastry out on the kitchen side until it gets to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 370F. Then take some parchment paper and lay on a baking or cookie sheet. Place the pastry on the sheet and score a line gently in the pastry all around about 1 inch in from the edge. Be careful not to score all the way through. Place the sun-dried tomatoes evenly inside of your score line and sprinkle with your favorite cheese. Whip the egg and the egg wash the sides of the pastry the other side of scoreline, facing to the outside.

Place in the oven and cook until the pastry is golden brown. Serve with a nice salad while the tart is still warm and pair with a nice glass of Chianti!
