Blueberry Puff Pastry Tart Recipes

QUICK AND EASY BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare a sheet pan with a Silpat or parchment paper.
• Lay out the puff pastry on the Silpat and even out any creases that may be left from it being folded in the freezer.
• Using a fork, poke lots of holes in the center of the puff pastry. Leave the outer 1 inch all the way around alone and don't poke it!!! This will allow the air to release when you pull it out of oven. It will still puff up but once you press on it gently, the air will come out of the holes and settle back down.
• Using a knife, score about one inch all the way around the puff pastry. Don't go all the way through the puff pastry to the sheet pan. You are looking for it to score so there is a separation from the center and the edge. It will create a higher edge (remember you didn't poke holes with the fork there!!)
• Whisk together the egg and milk and brush on the 1 inch outer border.
• Place puff pastry in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Turn the sheet pan at the 10 minute mark to make sure all sides are cooking evenly. I took mine out at 15 minutes total.
• Allow to cool. While cooling, stir the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of the puff pastry (where you had the fork marks) and spread it out.
• Sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese mixture. Using a sifter, place the powdered sugar inside and sprinkle on top blueberries.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2-3 hours at most or the puff pastry gets soft.

BLUEBERRY PUFF PASTRY TART

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. Unfold your puff pastry and cut in thirds along the creases (so you'll have 6 strips), then cut those strips in half, so you have 12 rectangles total. Place the rectangles on the baking sheets.
• 3. Spread a teaspoon or so of jam onto each rectangle, then top with a handful of blueberries.
• 4. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the blueberries have popped and the puff pastry is a golden brown.
• 5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before eating. You could dust with powdered sugar if you would like.
• 6. NOTE: You could use any flavor of jam and any berry. I will be trying other varieties.
