Puff Pastry Tart with Tomatoes and Bresse Blue Cheese Recipe
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 17 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Cheese tarts are perfect for a quick lunch or tasty first course. Nothing's simpler: puff pastry, tomatoes and blue cheese.
*Tips
The wheat semolina will absorb the juice from the tomatoes and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. You can replace it with bread crumbs for a nutty flavor, or even powdered almonds for a more gourmet version.
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 150 g (5 oz.) Bresse Bleu or other mild blue cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, rolled out
- 1 tbsp. fine wheat semolina
- 4-5 tomatoes, such as beefsteak
- 1 sprig of flat leaf parsley
- 10 g (2 tsp.) butter for the pan
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F). Butter a 26 cm (10") pie plate and line with the puff pastry. Prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle with the wheat semolina.*
- Slice the tomatoes fairly thinly, then arrange attractively, overlapping them, on the puff pastry. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Cut the cheese into thin strips. Place them on the tart once it comes out of the oven.
- Sprinkle with flat leaf parsley. Let cool slightly before serving.
