Breakfast Tart
- FOR THE TART:
- 1 whole Sheet Puff Pastry, Thawed
- 2 slices Fontina Cheese
- 2 slices Prosciutto
- 1 whole Large Egg
- Kosher Salt And Black Pepper
- _____
- FOR THE PESTO:
- 2 cups Packed Basil Leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/2 whole Large Lemon
- 1/3 cups Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt And Black Pepper
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a pan with parchment or a silpat.
- For the basil pesto:
- Bring a small pan of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile prepare an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water).
- Put the basil in the simmering water for just about a minute. Then remove them from the simmering water and immediately plunge them into the ice bath.
- Drain and dry the leaves and put them in a blender with the garlic and a sprinkle of Kosher salt. Add the lemon juice and the olive oil. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Breakfast Tart:
- Lightly flour the counter and roll out the puff pastry dough until slightly thinner. Place the sheet of dough on the prepared pan.
- Spoon a dollop of basil pesto into the center of the dough and spread generously around. Lay the fontina cheese slices in the center of the dough. Make a "nest" on top of the cheese with the two pieces of prosciutto. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry (the next and some of the filling should still be exposed). Spread a little more pesto on the sides of the nest.
- Bake at 425F for about 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile crack an egg into a small bowl.
- When the hot tart comes out of the oven, pour the egg into the little "nest". Bake in the oven for about another 8 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the whites are set on the egg.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Slice into quarters and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
