Lunch: Grape Tarts

Red and green grapes are nestled inside individual puff-pastry shells to create sweet, flaky tarts.

Ingredients

all-purpose flour
1/2 package frozen puff pastry
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp. heavy cream
2 c. Red and green seedless grapes
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
Sanding sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, unfold pastry. Cut into 4 squares (4 3/4 inches each). Transfer to a rimless baking sheet. Using the tip of a paring knife, score a 1/2-inch border around edges of squares, being careful not to cut all the way through pastry. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Whisk together egg yolk and cream; set egg wash aside. Toss together grapes, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Divide grape mixture among tart shells, keeping it inside the borders. Brush edges of tarts with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until pastry is crisp and golden and grapes are just beginning to collapse, 23 to 27 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
