Ingredients
- 1 x 320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
- 150ml full fat crème fraiche
- 125g vegetarian soft goat’s cheese, crumbled
- juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tsp chopped thyme, plus extra to garnish (or used 1 tsp dried)
- 2 ripe nectarines
- 150g caramelised onion chutney
- 1 egg, beaten
Step by step
- Place a large baking tray into the oven and preheat to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a floured work surface and use a rolling pin to roll out to a 30cm square. Trim the corners to make a roughly round disc (use an upturned bowl or cake tin to guide you if you like). Transfer to a large sheet of baking paper.
- Mix the crème fraiche, goat’s cheese, lemon juice and thyme together, mashing with a fork to break up the lumps of cheese. Season generously.
- Cut the nectarines in half, removing the stones, then slice into thin wedges.
- Spread the goat’s cheese mixture over the tart, leaving a 4-5cm border around the edge. Use a teaspoon to drop dollops of onion chutney over the cheese. Arrange the nectarine slices on top and season again.
- Fold over the pastry border in sections, so it overlaps the filling slightly. Lift the baking paper; slide the tart onto the hot tray (keep the baking paper under the tart).
- Brush the exposed pastry with the egg, then bake for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp. Sprinkle with the extra thyme, if using, and serve.
