This Goat Cheese & Herb Tart pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Rosé. The creamy, tangy goat cheese, fresh herbs, and flaky pastry create a light yet flavorful dish that complements the bright acidity and red berry notes of the wine.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Honey for drizzling (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the puff pastry slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

In a bowl, mix goat cheese, ricotta, egg, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a ½-inch border.

Sprinkle the chopped herbs over the top. Add cherry tomatoes if using.

Brush the edges of the pastry with olive oil.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is slightly puffed.

Drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness and serve warm or at room temperature.
