Ingredients

Units Scale

Puff Pastry Tart Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed according to package instructions)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup lemon curd
  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water or milk (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves or lemon zest, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Puff Pastry: Thaw the puff pastry sheet as per package directions. Lightly roll it out on a floured surface to smooth out creases. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then use a knife to score a border about one inch from the edge without cutting all the way through. This allows the center to puff up while keeping the edges crisp.
  2. Add the Lemon Curd: Spread a generous but even layer of lemon curd inside the scored border, avoiding the edges so the curd doesn’t overflow during baking. This layer provides a tangy, creamy base for the tart.
  3. Arrange Fresh Blueberries: Evenly scatter fresh blueberries over the lemon curd. During baking, the berries will soften and release juices that blend with the curd, creating a natural glaze.
  4. Brush with Egg Wash and Bake: Beat the egg with water or milk to make an egg wash. Brush this over the pastry edges to achieve a shiny, golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Garnish: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a touch of sweetness and garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon zest to enhance aroma and presentation.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until just before baking to ensure optimal puffiness.
  • Use fresh blueberries and high-quality or homemade lemon curd for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overfill with lemon curd or blueberries to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Score the border carefully to maintain a crisp edge and puffy center.
  • Watch the tart closely after 20 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
