FAQs about the Puff Pastry Tarts
Can I use other toppings on the tarts?
Sure. Roasted vegetables work well. Any cheeses or pizza style toppings are also delicious.
Can you make a Puff Pastry tart ahead of time?
You can assemble these tarts up to 24 hours before you want to cook them.
This makes it a great dish to serve when entertaining, or a perfect prepare ahead dinner party starter as you can have it ready and waiting for baking.
I prefer to not bake it until it’s about to be served though. They will be *okay* warmed up but not nearly as good as freshly baked.
How to I stop the base of the Puff Pastry Tart from going soggy?
Be sure you’ve preheated your oven so it’s scorching hot.
Also, put the tarts into the top shelf of the oven if possible.
Finally, use a good quality heavyweight baking sheet as they transfer heat more effectively I find.
Do you need to egg wash the puff pastry?
If you want make the border of your puff pastry tart extra crispy and shiny, brush it with a beaten egg or milk just before baking.
It’s not necessary but it will just make it look more golden and delicious.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Of course, just choose the toppings accordingly.
Can I make this gluten free?
Yep. Jus Rol now make a ready made gluten free puff pastrytoo.
