Scallion Tarts

Baked tarts can be frozen up to 3 weeks. Without thawing, reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Instead of large tarts, you can make individual-size tartlets: Cut the pastry into eight 4-inch squares; bake for about 20 minutes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes two 8-inch-square tarts

Ingredients

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1 standard package (17.3 ounces; 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed
8 bunches scallions (2 1/4 pounds), trimmed and cut into matchsticks
1 garlic clove, minced
1 red Thai chile, ribs and seeds removed, minced
1/2 cup walnuts (2 ounces), finely chopped
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry sheets just to smooth creases; trim the edges slightly to make even.

    Step 2

    Place each sheet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Place the scallions, garlic, chile, walnuts, olives, and oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss. Set aside.

    Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water. Brush a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the dough with egg wash. Divide the scallion mixture between the sheets, leaving a 1/4-inch border; sprinkle each with cheese.

    Step 5

    Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
