Description
This Artichoke Gouda Tart is the perfect combination of rich, savory flavors and crispy puff pastry. The marinated artichokes add a delightful tang, while the melted Gouda and Fontina cheeses bring a creamy, indulgent texture. Fresh basil, thyme, garlic, and lemon zest give the tart a burst of herbaceous brightness, balanced with a light drizzle of honey that adds just the right amount of sweetness.
Ingredients
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
3 tbsp chopped pepperoncinis
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp lemon zest
Chili flakes (to taste)
1 jar (14 oz) marinated artichokes, drained (or two 7.5 oz jars)
Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to stretch it slightly, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the edges with the beaten egg.
Cut the second sheet of puff pastry into 4 strips, each about ½ inch wide. Press these strips around the edges of the larger sheet to create a border. Brush the edges with the egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and freshly ground black pepper.
Prick the inside of the pastry (within the borders) all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing too much during baking.
Step 2: Add the Toppings
Inside the pastry border, evenly distribute the chopped pepperoncinis, basil, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, and chili flakes.
Sprinkle the shredded Gouda and Fontina cheeses evenly over the herbs.
Arrange the drained artichokes on top and lightly drizzle honey over the tart.
Place the tart in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
Step 3: Bake the Tart
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
