Description

A savory tart featuring a creamy kale filling, tangy goat cheese, and crispy capers atop a flaky puff pastry crust—perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying capers)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Add chopped kale and cook for 4–5 minutes until wilted. Stir in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cook another 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Roll out puff pastry and transfer to the baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edge and prick the center with a fork.
  5. Spread the creamed kale mixture within the border. Top with crumbled goat cheese.
  6. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
  8. While the tart bakes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small pan and fry capers until crispy, about 2–3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  9. Remove tart from oven and sprinkle crispy capers over the top. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the kale mixture ahead of time for easier assembly.
  • Swap goat cheese with feta or ricotta for a different flavor.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.
