ingredients

Tarts
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry 14-oz, thawed
  • 4 ripe sweet peaches, pitted and cut into ½ inch wedges
  • 8 oz goat cheese softened
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp freshly chopped basil
Candied Walnuts
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves and pieces
  • 1/8 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • For the candied walnuts, add walnuts, sugar, and butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. When the sugar begins to melt, stir constantly until the sugar is completely melted.
  • Pour out nuts onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts so they don't stick to each other. Let cool 5 to 7 minutes. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
  • Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 squares, about 2 to 2 1/2-inches wide. Prick each square all over with a fork.
  • Place the squares on the two prepared baking sheets. Spread each square with a layer of goat cheese, leaving a small border around the edge.
  • Top the squares with about 4 to 5 slices of peach each. Top with a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped basil and candied walnuts before serving.
