Prep Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 10

Ingredients

  • 1 (17.3-oz) box puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, chopped divided
  • 1 Tbsp thyme, chopped, divided
  • 2-1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1-1/2 tsp pepper, divided
  • 1 cup carrot, cut into 1/4" rounds
  • 1 cup radish, cut into 1/4” rounds
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/4” half moons
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 1 Tbsp honey

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Unroll both puff pastry sheets and place one in a standard 15x10" baking sheet pan. Lay out the other puff pastry sheet and cut a 1" frame to go right on top of the perimeter of the sheet in the pan.

Discard the unused puff pastry or get creative and use it for another recipe. Place sheet pan with the puff pastry in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Toss the carrots, parsnips, radish, sweet potatoes and onion with olive oil, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Spread on another baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, parmesan, half of the herbs, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.

Remove sheet pan from the freezer and using a fork, poke small holes in the bottom only of your dough. Bake the puff pastry for 7 minutes.

In a small bowl combine the egg with a splash of water and whisk using a fork.

Brush the egg wash onto the frame of the dough. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the dough…being gentle not to tear it.

Top with the partially cooked veggies and top with dollops of goat cheese. Bake for an additional 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with remaining half of the herbs and drizzle with honey. Cut and serve.

Cook's Notes

Switch up the veggies if you wish. Anything in season would go beautifully in this tart.
