How to make Jam Tarts with Goat Cheese
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF degrees and lightly grease a muffin tin before setting it aside.
- Gently roll out the puff pastry crust so that it’s an even layer. It helps if it’s not frozen when you do this.
- Cut the sheet into 12 equal-sized pieces.
- Place each piece inside a muffin cup in the greased tin, and then press it down to create a little bowl.
- Spoon the goat cheese into each little dough bowl.
- Spoon some jam over the top of the goat cheese and spread it out evenly.
- Then bake the tarts for about 10 minutes.
- Let them cool completely before sprinkling the top with powdered sugar.
It would be easier to list what doesn’t go well than to make an extensive list of things that go great with it. That said, your favorite jams should work just fine.
Everything from a fig or onion jam to apricot, blackberry, and marmalades taste incredible and each one brings a unique taste and experience.
Yes. You can freeze your tarts before or after they’ve been baked depending on how you feel.
If you freeze them raw, make sure to leave them in muffin tins to hold their shape and keep them well covered. If you freeze them baked, let them be cooled completely before sticking in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
You definitely could use homemade puff pastry to make this recipe if you have it on hand.
Although making your own puff pastry does take a lot of time and effort it would really help to make this dish taste more authentically homemade and be a great way to show off your culinary skills.
