Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 green pear, sliced
- ½ cup goat cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction
- 1-2 tablespoons slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll puff pastry out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, creating a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Fold about ½ inch of puff pastry around the tart to create a crust and pinch the sides. Brush with egg wash, then place on a baking sheet and cook for about 8 minutes or until tart has started to puff up.
- While tart is cooking, combine the oil, garlic and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Brush the garlic oil over the tart and then layer the pears and goat cheese. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until tart is golden brown.
- Top with arugula, basil, balsamic reduction and almonds and serve immediately.

Hi, I see this says serve immediately. Would it hold for a little while if I wanted to bring it to a dinner party?
Hi Megan, that should work! But I would wait until you’re just about to serve to do step 4. Thanks!
