Description
Welcome spring with this veggie puff pastry tart. This easy appetizer comes together by baking a puff pastry until crisp and topping it with creamy and zesty ricotta along with arugula and pomegranate seeds for a pop of sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg, whisked for egg wash
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta
- ½ lemon, wedged
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped

- 2 Tbsp. chopped chives
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- Arugula, two handfuls
- 3 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, shaved
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic reduction

- Roll out the puff pastry sheets and press out any creases. Score a 1-inch border around the edges. Prick the pastry with a fork and brush the pastry with egg wash.
- Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven. Fold over the scored edges of the puff pastry to create a ridge.
