Artichoke Gruyere Tart
This recipe is dairy
Ingredients:
Flour, for work surface
1 sheet frozen Puff Pastry
2 C Gruyere Cheese, shredded
½ C grated Parmesan Cheese
1 ½ lbs artichoke hearts (drained if using from a can), sliced thin
1 T Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 t chopped Thyme Leaves
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16X10 inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With your knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at ½ inch intervals. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Remove pastry shell from oven. Sprinkle with chopped garlic, thyme leaves, and shredded gruyere. Place the artichoke slices evenly to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over gruyere and then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake until artichokes are tender and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.
Cut the warm tart into squares and watch your guests enjoy!
