Mediterranean Puff Pastry Tart

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
pinterest image for mediterranean puff pastry tart.

While large gatherings are still put on hold, I find myself still making my favorite recipes even if it's for a small crowd (and by small crowd I mean my fiancé and myself). This recipe for a Mediterranean Puff Pastry Tart is one of our favorites.

Crisp puff pastry is baked with artichoke, crumbled feta cheese, lemon and seasonings to create a delicious appetizer ready in just 30 minutes. You may also like my recipe for Pear and Camembert Crostini, my French Onion Dip, or my Stovetop BBQ Little Smokies too!

Tips for using Puff Pastry

  • Puff Pastry is so simple to use and it becomes flaky and delicious when baked. Here are some tips to make it amazing!
  • Thaw on the counter or in the fridge until the dough is pliable. Once thawed you can easily roll it out, cut it and make whatever you like!
  • To quick thaw in the microwave, remove 1 pastry sheet from the box and outer wrapping and wrap in a paper towel.  Microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds.  Turn the pastry sheet over.  Microwave for another 15 seconds.  If pastry doesn’t unfold easily, microwave for another 5 seconds on each side.
  • Brush dough with an egg wash to get a beautiful golden color when baked
  • Brush dough with egg wash and then top with your favorite seasonings. Sea salt, sparkling sugar, sesame seeds, cinnamon sugar, are all great on top
  • Don’t overheat the dough before baking. This will melt the butter and result in a soggy mess instead of flaky layers
  • Use for both savory and sweet dishes!

How to cook Mediterranean Tart

  • Thaw frozen puff pastry sheets and place on a parchment lined baking sheet
  • Crease puff pastry with a butter knife ½ inch from the border
  • Brush edges with egg wash
  • Spread feta, artichoke, lemon and seasonings on puff pastry
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees or until edges are browned and crisp

What type of puff pastry to use

For this recipe I used puff pastry sheets which are found in the frozen foods sections at most chain grocery stores. Any brand of puff pastry can be used, however alternatives such as puff pastry cups and phyllo dough should be avoided. Puff pastry should be kept frozen until needed. To thaw, place puff pastry on your counter to thaw at room temperature. Times m

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet Thawed
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 Oz Canned Artichoke Hearts
  • ¾ Cup Feta Cheese Crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp Oregano

  • Pepper
  • 1 Lemon Sliced thinly
  • Parsley Optional

Equipment Needed

  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet

Storage

Leftover Mediterranean Puff Pastry Tart can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5 minutes at 400 degrees.

Alternatively you can reheat in a toaster oven as well. Place the puff pastry on a small aluminum baking sheet (¼ size or the one that came with your toaster is fine). Bake for up to 5 minutes or until warmed through.
