Tart with radish and smoked salmon topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half a 500g package), thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream + extra for egg mixture
- 1 bunch radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 package (140 g) garlic and herb cheese spread, such as Boursin, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- 60 g smoked salmon, torn into pieces
- Sea salt flakes
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the puff pastry into a 27cm square. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with a little cream. Brush the edges of the dough (about 2.5cm wide) with the egg mixture, then fold each side over by about 1cm to create a thin border and press to seal. Prick the center of the dough with a fork, then brush the entire surface with the beaten egg.
- Bake the cake until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes. Pierce the center of the cake with a knife and gently press down with the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten it. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
- Meanwhile, soak the sliced radishes in a large bowl of ice water until they begin to curl, about 15 minutes; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheese spread and heavy cream until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, tarragon, parsley, and a pinch of coarse salt. Add the radishes and smoked salmon and toss to combine.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the cooled crust, top with radishes and smoked salmon. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
