Now that we are back and settled from the wedding, honeymoon, and a week visiting family, I am getting excited about having people over to celebrate the end of summer.

I hadn’t realized until recently that we never had a housewarming party when we moved into our new house because we were so caught up with remodeling and planning the wedding, not to mention hosting my mom’s side of the family for Christmas Eve.

SO, we finally had people over for a small dinner party the other night, and I was so elated to have people in our house again.

Lately it’s been a bunch of in-and-out visits from our parents and friends, that I haven’t really put on the hostess cap to wow a crowd with my cooking.

Of course I always have food around and whip things up constantly, but sometimes you really want to make an impression, you know?

That’s what this recipe is all about.

These peach basil goat cheese tarts are gorgeous two-bite appetizers that really embrace the end of summer season.

You all know I’ve been obsessed with peaches, so this is yet another chapter in that book of deliciousness.

The tang of the goat cheese, the sweetness of the peaches, and the herbaceous basil are layers of flavor that are light and bright, livening up the palate to get a dinner party started right.

Stunning as they are, they are also oh-so EASY to make.

Puff pastry seriously is the miracle solution to quick but tasty appetizers and desserts. I swear by it and I always have it on hand.

You can make so many different things with it, with a limited amount of ingredients.

Just like these tarts.

So whip out the puff pastry and peaches, my friends! It’s time to cook to impress 😉

This Recipe’s Must Haves

• OXO Good Grips Multi-purpose Stainless Steel Chopper is a great tool to have to cut the pastry into those cute little squares.
• My Shun Classic 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is my go-to for slicing and chopping so it’s ideal for these thinly sliced peaches! PLUS you get free sharpening for life!
• I have recently been turned onto resin cutting boards, and I am really digging them, like this San Jamar Tuff-Cut High Tech Resin Cutting Board.
• USA Pan 3-Piece Warp Resistant Non-Stick Aluminized Steel Bakeware Set to bake up your tarts on a quality pan. 

For another goat cheese appetizer, these cheese bites with tomatoes and goat cheese are so summery and savory!
