Description
Peach Melba Breakfast Tarts are a delightful combination of flaky puff pastry, creamy mascarpone, and fresh fruits, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 medium fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles or squares and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, score a smaller rectangle inside each pastry piece, about 1/2 inch from the edges.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the edges of the puff pastry rectangles.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture inside the scored border of each puff pastry rectangle. Arrange the peach slices and raspberries on top.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle a little extra honey over the top of each tart.
- Optionally, dust the tarts with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- For reheating, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free puff pastry.
- For a vegan version, substitute mascarpone with plant-based cream cheese and use a flax egg.
