This Summer Tomato Whipped Feta Tart is a show-stopping appetizer or light meal that combines the tangy richness of whipped feta with the sweet, juicy flavor of fresh tomatoes. The flaky puff pastry base adds a buttery crunch, while the toasted pine nuts and fresh mint bring it all together!
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheet thawed
- 2-3 tomatoes different varieties cut into slices
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp red peppercorn crushed
- 1 tbsp pine nuts toasted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- flaky salt and more fresh mint to serve
For the Whipped Cheese
- 4-6 oz feta cheese
- 3-4 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 handful of fresh mint
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions

- In the meantime, cut the tomatoes in slices and salt them. Let them sit and the water will drain out of the tomatoes.
- In a food processor, blend all ingredients for the creamy cheese mixture.
