Ingredients

• 250 g Pre-made puff pastry
• 50 g Wild sorrel leaves
• 2 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
• 150 g Goat's cheese (soft log variety)
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Use a round cutter (approximately 10cm in diameter) to cut out 4 circles.

Step 3

Transfer the pastry circles onto the lined baking sheet and lightly score a smaller circle (about 8cm diameter) in the center of each, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a border for the tart.

Step 4

Prick the inside circle of each pastry lightly with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.

Step 5

Prepare the sorrel and herb mixture: Wash and pat dry the sorrel leaves. Chop them finely along with the thyme, parsley, and chives.

Step 6

In a bowl, mix the chopped herbs and sorrel with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 7

Cut the goat's cheese into 4 equal rounds. In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream with a little salt and pepper to create a light cream glaze.

Step 8

Brush the outer pastry border of each tart with beaten egg to encourage golden browning.

Step 9

Divide the sorrel and herb mixture evenly among the tarts, spreading it within the inner circle of each pastry base.

Step 10

Place a round of goat's cheese on top of the herb mixture on each tart. Drizzle a small amount of the cream glaze over the goat's cheese for added richness.

Step 11

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the goat's cheese has melted and browned slightly.

Step 12

Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with a few extra thyme leaves for presentation.
