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
- **Important: thaw puff pastry according to package directions**
- Pre-heat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve garnished with fresh thyme and a side salad of your choice for a full meal. Enjoy!
