Why Fresh Herbs Are Important
First of all, let’s talk about herbs. Using fresh herbs makes a huge difference in your cooking. Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and rosemary add a burst of flavor that dried herbs just can’t match. Plus, they look so pretty on top of your tartlets!
Tips for Cooking with Puff Pastry
Now, let’s move on to puff pastry. Here are some tips to make sure your tartlets turn out perfectly:
- Keep It Cold: Puff pastry needs to stay cold until you’re ready to bake it. This helps it puff up and become nice and flaky.
- Don’t Overload: Be careful not to put too many toppings on your tartlets. Too much can make the pastry soggy.
- Preheat Your Oven: Always preheat your oven for at least 15-20 minutes. Puff pastry relies on even heat to rise properly.
Making Tomato Tartlets
Making these tartlets is super easy! Here’s what you do:
- Prepare the Pastry: Using premade puff pastry, cut it into rectangles the desired size for your tartlets.
- Add Toppings: On a parchment paper-lined cooking sheet, drizzle oil and balsamic vinegar glaze in the size of your tartlets. Then, cover with onion slices, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
- Top with Pastry: Lay the puff pastry rectangles on top of the veggies, then crimp the edges with a fork.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden and crispy.
- Flip and Serve: Carefully slide a spatula under each tartlet and then flip the pastry over. Serve with burrata cheese. This is the same flip and serve we do with my summer peach tartlets found here.
