Ingredients
Scale:
1 package (about 17.3 ounces) of frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup cooked spinach, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, peaches, or apples)
1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out and make it slightly thinner.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pastry into squares or circles.
Place the pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
For the savory tarts, in a bowl, mix cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto the center of each pastry piece.
For sweet tarts, in another bowl, combine the fresh fruit, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of each pastry piece.
Gently fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a small border. Brush the edges with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is p￭ and golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
