Blueberry Cheese Tart

It looks elegant and smells divine but what will really have you falling head over heels is the taste. The buttery puff pastry is topped with mascarpone which is very creamy and mild which paired well with the tangy goat cheese.

Then a fresh-made blueberry syrup of roasted blueberries is added on top lending their intensely sweet and delicious flavors to the dish. The warm blueberry topping slightly melts the cheese. Each bite is a beautiful combination of sweet and tangy. The creamy cheese and the softened blueberries made this dessert unbelievable!

How to Make Roasted Blueberry Tart

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and spread out the pastry dough onto a floured work surface.
Roll it out into a 13×11 inch rectangle and then bake on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until golden in color. Remove from sheet and allow to cool.
Increase your oven temperature to 450 degrees F and combine the blueberries with vanilla and sugar, tossing them to coat. spread them out onto a sheet pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until bubbly.
While that is happening, combine the goat cheese and mascarpone in a bowl. Spread the mixture onto the cooled pastry.
Top with your warm berries and sprinkle with fresh basil just before serving.

FAQs

Can I make this tart in advance?

I do not recommend making this tart in advance because the gestures will not be as good as when made and served fresh. While you can keep the leftovers in the fridge and reheat them before eating the puff pastry will be soft and possibly wet/mushy.

Can I use pie crust?

If desired you can turn this recipe into more of a galette style dish by laying a round pie crust onto a baking sheet and then topping with the cheese mixture and blueberries before baking. Cook until the crust is golden (about 30 minutes at 375 degrees F). For this variation, you may not want to roast the blueberries beforehand, so instead, simply mix the ingredients together and lay them on top of the cheese. The blueberries will roast and cook as the pie does.
