Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to even out the thickness if necessary.
- Cut the puff pastry into desired shapes such as squares or circles using a cookie cutter or a knife.
- Place the cut pastry pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg.
- Lightly brush each pastry piece with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. This will give them a nice golden color when baked.
- Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Add the lemon juice, dried coriander, finely chopped chives, and dill to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
- Once the puff pastry pieces have cooled, gently press down the center of each piece to create a slight indentation.
- Spoon a small amount of the avocado mixture into the indentation of each pastry.
- Top each tart with a piece of smoked salmon.
- Arrange the assembled tarts on a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or dill for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- Thawing Puff Pastry: Make sure your puff pastry is thoroughly thawed before rolling it out. This ensures even cooking and a perfect, flaky texture.
- Preventing Browning in Avocado: Add lemon juice to the avocado not only for a zesty flavor but also to prevent it from browning.
- Herb Freshness: While dried coriander can work, using fresh herbs like chives and dill can significantly amplify the flavors.
- Uniform Tart Shapes: Use a cookie cutter to create uniform tart shapes, which will ensure they cook evenly and look professional.
- Egg Wash: Applying a light egg wash on the puff pastry before baking gives them a beautiful golden color and a slight sheen.
Voila! Your smoked salmon, avocado, and herb tarts are ready to serve. This recipe offers a beautiful balance of flavors and textures, making it a crowd-pleaser whether it’s a family gathering or a sophisticated soirée. Enjoy your delicious and elegantly simple creation.
