Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 2 puff pastry sheets, defrosted
Filling
- 150 g roasted pumpkin, chopped
- 80 g feta cheese, crumbled into chunks
- 4 teaspoons caramelised onion
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs
- 100 g milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (fan-forced) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the tart evenly.
- Prepare Pastry Base: Place the defrosted puff pastry sheets over a loose-bottomed tart tin, trimming any excess edges to fit perfectly and provide a neat crust.
- Add Pumpkin and Feta: Evenly distribute the chopped roasted pumpkin and crumbled feta cheese over the puff pastry base, creating a flavorful foundation for the tart.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined. For convenience, you can use a Thermomix on Speed 4 for 20 seconds for a thorough mix.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the pumpkin and feta in the tart shell, allowing it to soak into all the ingredients.
- Add Caramelised Onion & Rosemary: Swirl the caramelised onions gently into the custard topping and sprinkle fresh rosemary sprigs over the tart for an aromatic finish.
- Bake the Tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the filling is set, golden, and cooked through.
Notes
- Use fan-forced oven for even cooking and browning of the pastry crust.
- Roast the pumpkin ahead of time for convenience and enhanced sweetness.
- Fresh rosemary is optional but adds a lovely aromatic note.
- Milk or cream can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
- Ensure the puff pastry sheets are fully defrosted before use to prevent cracking.
