Puff Tarts With Roquefort and Walnuts are a delicious appetizer that make a perfect addition to any dinner party menu. The creamy cheese filling is perfectly balanced by the buttery puff pastry and nutty flavor of the walnuts and pine nuts. These tarts are simple to prepare and can be customized with different types of cheese or nuts to suit your taste.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2.In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Roquefort cheese, ricotta cheese, and cream. Mix well.
3.Roughly chop the walnuts and pine nuts and add them to the cheese mixture.
4.Add the egg and finely chopped shallot to the mixing bowl and mix well.
5.Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
6.In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.
7.Dice the butter and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together.
8.Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a few millimeters thick. Cut the dough into circles using a pastry cutter or a glass.
9.Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the dough circles on it. Spoon a tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto each dough circle.
10.Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the cheese mixture is bubbling.
11.Serve the tarts hot, garnished with extra chopped walnuts or pine nuts if desired.
