Grape Ricotta Honey Tarts Recipes

GRAPE, RICOTTA & HONEY TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven ot 220°C; line a baking tray with a non-stick baking paper; cut the pastry sheet into four squares; cut a border about 1.5cm (see note below) around the edge of each square; transfer the pastry squares to the baking tray.
• Mix the honey and ricotta and spread over each pastry square, within the border.
• Arrange the grapes on the honey-ricotta base, sprinkle with sugar and (if using) the walnuts; and bake until golden.
• NOTE: 1.5cm = 0.590550005 inch, so make the border a generous 1/2 inch!
