Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mandoline Slicer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • 2 Medium Mixing Bowls
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 red potato
  • 1/4 red onion sliced
  • olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup bleu cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp half & half + 1 tbsp
  • 1 egg
  • 3-4 slices thick cut bacon cooked & chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp Tabasco
  • 1 tsp chili pepper flakes
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep Potatoes & Onions- use a mandoline slicer to slice potatoes as thin as possible. Toss sliced potatoes with a bit of salt and drizzle of olive oil. In separate bowl, toss sliced onions with another drizzle of olive oil and salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare Tart- unfold thawed puff pastry and transfer onto a parchment lined baking sheet. For a thinner tart, use a rolling pin to gently press and roll out puff pastry to add 1/2-1 inch to the sides, but be careful not to overwork dough or spread it too thin. Poke center of pastry a few times with a fork. Mix mascarpone cheese and 2 tbsp of half & half until smooth. Stir in half of the crumbled blue cheese and spread in an even layer over pastry leaving 3 inches away from edge. Top cheese mixture with sliced potatoes, onions, remaining blue cheese and rosemary. Fold edges of puff pastry over potatoes and brush with a whisked egg wash. Crack a bit of fresh pepper on top.
  • Bake- Preheat oven to 425F. Bake tart for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. If edges begin to get too dark, cover them with foil and continue baking. Meanwhile, stir together honey, chili flakes and hot sauce. Once baked, top tart with chopped cooked bacon, drizzle with spicy honey, and bask in the deliciousness

Notes

  • A standard puff pastry sheet is 9.75” X 10.5” X 3/16”.
  • For a thinner tart, use a rolling pin to gently press and roll out puff pastry to add 1/2-1 inch to the sides, but be careful not to overwork dough or spread it too thin.
  • For a larger tart, multiple puff pastry sheets may be used, gently pinched together at the seams so they do not split during baking.
