Description
An incredibly easy Nectarine and Camembert Puff Pastry Tartlets recipe: flaky pastry with warm, sweet nectarines, melted Camembert cheese, and a honey-thyme drizzle. A perfect 40-minute appetizer or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- ½ wheel Buffalo Camembert (about 4.4 ounces)
- 3 nectarines
- 3 teaspoons honey
- Fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pastry: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 rectangles. Prick the pastry all over with a fork.
- Prepare Toppings: Slice the nectarines and cheese thinly.
- Assemble the Tartlets: Place the cheese slices on each pastry rectangle, then add the nectarine slices on top.
- Drizzle & Sprinkle: Drizzle about ½ teaspoon of honey on each tartlet, and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
- Bake: Bake for about 25–27 minutes or until the tartlets are golden and crisp.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately.
Notes
- Pastry Flakiness: Keep the puff pastry cold until it goes into the oven. This is essential for achieving a light and flaky crust.
- Cheese Choice: Camembert or Brie is recommended for its smooth melt. You can substitute with a mild Gorgonzola or soft goat cheese.
- Fruit Prep: Slice the nectarines thinly and evenly to ensure they soften nicely during the short bake time.
- Pricking: Pricking the pastry is crucial to keep the center flat, allowing the toppings to sit neatly.
- Serving Fresh: These tartlets are best served warm, as the contrast between the hot, flaky pastry and the melted cheese is at its peak.
