Tuna Feta Pastries
Total time: 20 minutes
The feta I used for these is Greek: little cubes that come in a glass jar covered in olive oil. They will not melt like other cheese, but stay whole and get lightly browned. I garnished the tarts with sliced avocado, but that is optional. This is an easy, assembly only dish - baked for 12 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 3oz (90gr) canned tuna
- 2 tbs ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt
- 2 tbs chopped black olives or tapenade
- 3oz (90gr) feta cubes (or other feta cheese)
- 1/2 sheet puff pastry
- small, ripe avocado, sliced optional
Instructions:
- Thaw the puff pastry, if needed.
- Lay out puff pastry and cut two 4 inch squares (10 cm). Wrap the remainder in film and refrigerate.
- Lay pastry on baking sheet. With a knife lightly score a line around the edge of each pastry, about 1/3" (.75 cm) from the edge. Do not cut through the pastry! (A butter knife works best.)
- Divide the ricotta and spread within the scored lines.
- Open and drain the tuna. Divide evenly and spread on the ricotta.
- Add chopped olives.
- Divide the feta and sprinkle on top. (I used 6 - 7 cubes per tart.)
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F (200C) for 12 - 15 minutes, until sides of pastry have puffed around middle and are golden brown.
- Remove and serve.
- Garnish with sliced avocado if desired.
