Ingredients

• 3 whole Red bell peppers
• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 4 oz Goat cheese
• 2 oz Cream cheese
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream
• 1 tbsp Fresh basil leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a covered bowl or a sealed plastic bag. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam, which will help loosen the skins.

Step 4

Peel the skin off the roasted peppers and remove the seeds and stems. Slice the peppers into thin strips and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, egg, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the center of the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.

Step 9

Arrange the roasted red pepper strips over the cheese mixture in a decorative pattern as desired.

Step 10

Drizzle the olive oil over the peppers and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 11

Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves over the top before slicing and serving.
