Vegetable and Cheese Puff Pastry Tart

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetable and Cheese Puff Pastry Tart.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 12x18-inch sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out your thawed puff pastry into a lovely 10x14-inch rectangle, then place it on the prepared sheet pan.

3. Step 3

   To give it a beautiful edge, score the pastry about 3/4 inch from the edge without cutting all the way through, and use a fork to prick the inside.

4. Step 4

   This will help it puff up nicely! Brush the surface with a beaten egg, saving any extra for later.

5. Step 5

   Pop the pastry into the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, just until it starts to set, then let it cool slightly.

6. Step 6

   While the pastry is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil along with a pat of butter.

7. Step 7

   Once the butter melts and starts to bubble, toss in your chopped mushrooms and onion.

8. Step 8

   Sauté these until they release their delicious juices, then keep cooking until the skillet is nearly dry, which should take around 10 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Season this fragrant mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the thawed spinach and chopped tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor.

10. Step 10

    In a small bowl, combine the remaining beaten egg with garlic and herb cheese spread and a splash of heavy cream.

11. Step 11

    This creamy mixture will add a delightful richness to your dish.

12. Step 12

    Carefully spread it over the partially baked puff pastry, making sure to stay within the scored edges for a neat presentation.

13. Step 13

    Next, layer the sautéed vegetable mixture on top of the cheese spread, creating a colorful and appetizing topping.

14. Step 14

    Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry turn a beautiful golden brown and the cheese mixture is set.

15. Step 15

    Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes to make slicing easier.

16. Step 16

    When you’re ready to serve, cut it into pieces and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for that perfect finishing touch.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
