Equipment
- Baking Sheets
Ingredients
- 1 package gluten free puff pastry or regular puff pastry if not gluten free
- 2 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend for sprinkling, can use AP flour if not gluten free
- 2 heaping cups gruyere cheese shredded
- 6 oz. prosciutto or sliced ham
- balsamic glaze make sure brand is gluten free
- 2 lemons zest only
- ¼ cup minced chives or herbs of choice for garnish optional
Instructions
- Remove 1 package of puff pastry from the freezer and allowing it to thaw at room temperature. Gluten free puff pastry takes 2-3 hours to thaw and regular puff pastry takes about 45 minutes to thaw.
- Once thawed, sprinkle 1 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend (or AP flour if not gluten free) on a clean, flat surface. Place 1 sheet of puff pastry on the floured surface and roll it out a bit with a floured rolling pin.
- Using a 2 or 2 ½ inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut 8 or so rounds from the puff pastry and place them onto baking sheets.
- Scoop the puff pastry up with your hands and form it into a ball. Flatten the ball and roll it out again with the rolling pin. Use the biscuit or cookie cutter to cut more rounds from the dough.Repeat this process with the other sheet of puff pastry and continue until all the dough is cut into rounds and placed onto baking sheets.
- Once the puff pastry rounds have been place on the baking sheets, pierce each one 3-4 times with a fork. This will prevent them from 'puffing' as they bake.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grate 2 heaping cups of gruyere (or melting cheese of choice) using a box grater or cheese grater.
- Tear 1 6 oz. package of prosciutto (or ham) into slices, so that they fit onto the pastry rounds.
- Place a couple slices of prosciutto or ham onto each round. Add 1 Tbsp. or so of shredded cheese on top of the prosciutto.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the bottoms are crispy and the cheese melted.Remove the baking sheets from the oven when finished.
- Drizzle some store-bought balsamic glaze (make sure brand is gluten free) over the top of the tartlets. You can also sub date syrup or fig syrup if you prefer.
- Using a Microplane or small zester, zest 1-2 lemons over the top of the tartlets. Or, you can sub preserved lemons.
- To Serve: Place the tartlets on a serving tray and garnish with some freshly minced herbs of choice (optional). Feel free to add a bit of flaky sea salt to make the flavors pop even more (optional).
Notes
Feel free to use any type of cheese that melts well for the Gruyere and ham for the prosciutto if you prefer.
