Caramelized Garlic and Goat Cheese Tart
Caramelized Garlic and Goat Cheese Tart features a flaky puff pastry base topped with soft goat cheese, roasted garlic cloves sweetened with honey, and fresh rosemary. The rich custard of eggs and cream binds the toppings, resulting in a savory tart with a balance of creamy, sweet, and herbal flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry
- 30 garlic cloves
- 8 ounces goat cheese softned
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rosemary finely chopped
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F
- With a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry to fit your rectangular mold with a removable bottom, a 14x4.5x1 mold. Place the pastry sheet into the mold and pick the surface with a fork, and set aside
- Peel the garlic cloves, cut off the end and blanch them into a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and repeat the same step into a new pan of boiling water for another 5 minutes.
- Drain the garlic and place it back into the same boiling pan and add the honey, chopped rosemary and cook for about 5 minutes over low heat. Make sure it does not burn.
- Separate the goat cheese into small chunks and place the cheese over the puff pastry.
- Whisk the eggs with the cream, season with salt and pepper and pour over the goat cheese.
- Add the garlic honey over the cream and bake in the hot oven for 35 minutes.
Notes
- If your tart mold is not non-stick, line it with parchment paper to ease removal after baking.
- Blanch the garlic twice to remove harshness before caramelizing with honey and rosemary for sweetness balanced with herbal notes.
- Drain the garlic thoroughly after blanching and caramelizing steps to maintain the texture in the tart.
