This bacon and mozzarella tart is a simple buffet dish that takes no time at all to prep but is absolutely irresistible. Ready rolled puff pastry is the ultimate time saver. We love the all butter varieties for their flaky and flavourful finish, but it’s worth noting that regular Jus-Rol pastry is suitable for vegans. If you’ve not made one before, a puff pastry tart, like this bacon and mozzarella tart, will become a go-to party food recipe in no time. They are so easy to customise using your favourite toppings. Why not try swapping the bacon for sliced fresh tomatoes and use some pesto instead of onion marmalade for a crowd pleasing vegetarian option. This bacon and mozzarella tart is the perfect quick fix for light lunch for a group.
Method
- Put the pre rolled pastry sheet onto an oiled baking tray and, without cutting through completely, score the pastry 2cm in from the edge, then with the back of a knife, make light lines in the “frame”. Brush with beaten egg and put in the fridge while you prep the fillings.
- Heat the oven to 220C and grill the bacon until it’s almost crispy.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and carefully spread the onion marmalade inside the pastry frame, then top with the slices of mozzarella and bacon. Put into the oven and bake until the pastry has risen and is golden, about 20 mins. Top with fresh basil and serve with a green salad.
Ingredients
- 320g pack all-butter ready-rolled puff pastry
- beaten egg, to glaze
- 8-10 rashers smoked streaky bacon
- 150g red onion marmalade
