Savoury Apple Cheddar Tart with Leeks

As a part of a group of fellow Canadian creatives, we each created recipes with Jazz apples and a mystery ingredient! My ingredient was cheddar as selected by the lovely Betty from Stems and Forks.

Apples are the perfect baking ingredient in my books but I wanted to give you a recipe that can be enjoyed many different ways! A simple, savoury tart was the way to go, bringing together the tangy-sweet Jazz apples with complementary ingredients.

What’s in a savoury apple cheddar tart?

  • Jazz apples: The star of this tart recipe, they bake beautifully with the other flavours.
  • Cheddar cheese: Use an old or sharp cheddar cheese in this recipe as the saltiness pairs really well with the apples.
  • Leeks: Sauteing the leeks before cooking the tart brings about a beautiful, mellow flavour that enhances the apples and cheddar.

  • Fresh thyme: This herbs’ floral notes is a lovely addition to the tart flavours.
  • Frozen puff pastry: This is a game-changer in the kitchen. Simply thaw the puff pastry according to package directions and then use! Makes this recipe come together oh so quickly.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 1 leek, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs plus more for garnish
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups old cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2-2 Jazz Apples, sliced
  • garnish with fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. **Important: thaw puff pastry according to package directions**

  2. Pre-heat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Roll out the puff pastry dough into a 10 inch by 12-inch rectangle (approximately). Make a half-inch border around the tart by folding the sides of the dough, using a fork to press down. Then use the fork to make dots throughout the middle of the tart and set aside.

  4. To sauté the leeks, melt 1 tbsp butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add in the leeks, thyme sprigs and pinches of salt/pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove the thyme sprigs.

  5. Spread 1 cup of cheese onto the tart, followed by the leeks and apple slices in groups. Finish by layering the final ½ cup remaining cheese on top of the apples. Bake the tart 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

  6. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and a side salad of your choice for a full meal. Enjoy!

When this tart comes out of the oven it’s hard to resist!

The Jazz apples keep a slight crunch on the buttery, cheesy base of this tart so each bite is delightful!  These are the perfect apple for this.

To me a French 75 is just perfect to cheers with BUT I’m shaking things up a bit by adding lavender bitters to complement the botanicals of the @empress1908gin . With the Empress Gin’s subtle earthy notes, the lavender works just beautifully to make a lovely Spring sip. Plus the gorgeous colour transforms from a vivid indigo blue to a more pink hue with the addition of the fresh lemon juice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, let’s cheers to a more bright & beautiful season upon us!

¾ oz  freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2-3 dashes lavender bitters

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions:
Shake gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and lavender bitters over ice. Strain into a coupe or flute. Top with prosecco & garnish with a lemon twist and/or lavender sprig.
