Cranberry Cheese Tarts [Vegan]
Report
These vegan cranberry cheese tarts use puff pastry filled with olive oil and garlic, onion chutney, vegan mozzarella, fresh cranberries, and thyme. The pastry is brushed with garlic-infused oil, baked until golden and crisp, offering a crunchy, fruity, and savory appetizer or snack with bright cranberry and herb flavors.
Description
Cranberry Cheese Tarts combine thawed puff pastry sheets cut into rectangles as a base, brushed with garlic-infused olive oil seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. A small spoonful each of onion chutney and vegan mozzarella cheese tops the crust, followed by fresh cranberries and sprigs of thyme. The edges are pinched and brushed again with the flavored oil for crispness.
Chilling the tarts in the refrigerator before baking helps create a flaky, golden texture. Baking at 400°F for about 25 minutes results in a crisp pastry with warm, melty cheese and a burst of tart cranberry balanced by herbal thyme. The dish is well suited to holiday appetizers or light savory bites.
