Tomato, Scallion and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Tart
Prep time: 60 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 1 hour 20 mins
Serves: 4
- 2 cups AP flour
- 20 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small squares
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 6 tbsp cold water
- 6 oz Goat Cheese
- 3 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 8 scallions, thinly sliced
- olive oil
- sea salt
- pepper
- For the Puff Pastry: Place the flour and 1/2 butter in a food processor with a steel blade. Pulse until the mixture becomes the consistency of sand – just a few seconds will do. Add the remaining butter and pulse for a few more seconds until the mixture is course. Add the salt and pulse for 1 second. Slowly drizzle in the cold water and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Remove the dough from the food processor onto a piece of parchment paper or a floured work surface. Shape it into a rough rectangle and lightly flour the top of the dough.
- Fold the dough into thirds, like a brochure, and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and roll out the dough to another 12×18 inch rectangle. Repeat the folding process then cover and chill. Repeat this process 1 more time and voila – you have a quick puff pastry in about 1 hour!
- For the Tomato, Scallion and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Tart
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Roll the dough out into its final 12×18 inch rectangle. Cut the pastry into long strips and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the pastry with a little olive oil, sprinkle on the crumbled goat cheese and some tomatoes.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, sprinkle with scallions, sea salt and cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
