Savoury Prosciutto Tart
Savoury Prosciutto Tart
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (225 g) puff pastry
- 1/4 cup (20 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) 35% heavy cream
- 1 endive, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 oz (55 g) thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into pieces
- 1/3 cup (10 g) watercress
- 3 tbsp flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp roasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 3 sweet gherkins, chopped
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- Parmesan cheese shavings, as desired
Instructions
- With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 7 x 14-inch (18 x 35 cm) rectangle. Trim the edges so that they are straight. Using the tip of a knife, score a smaller rectangle into the dough 1/2 inch (1 cm) inside the edges. Place on the prepared sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan with the cream. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Spread the Parmesan mixture onto the inner rectangle of the dough. Top with the endive, shallot and prosciutto.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
