Savory Summer Tarts 

Saturday June 19  

2:00 PM CDT

This class features two tarts perfect for summer’s bounty.  Both of these were featured in my take out shop and never failed to please.  Perfect for lunch, dinner or even brunch both of these can be made ahead.

French Onion Tart features an easily made yeast crust  covered with a smattering of mustard, deeply caramelized onions, nutty Guyere cheese, fresh tomatoes, kalamata olives and fresh basil.  This tart can be baked a day or two ahead and simply reheated making it perfect for a summer dinner on the patio.  We also made in sheet pans, cut it into small pieces and served it as an appetizer when we catered.  

Goat Cheese Pesto Tart with Roasted Peppers sits inside an asiago crust that is simply pressed into the shell.  When the crust isn’t being used as a shell, it makes the best crackers ever.  The bottom of the crust is covered with a fresh basil pesto over which roasted red and yellow peppers are placed.  Three cheeses in a quickly made topping finishes this best of all summer tarts.  This tart can be frozen or refrigerated for several days.

Both of these can be served warm or room temperature for easy entertaining.
