The Tarte Soleil may look intimidating at first, but it is actually very easy to make! Like the tomato tart, this is one of these everyday tarts with endless possibilities. It looks like a beautiful sunburst, which is so fun! Perfect for a party as your guests can just pull out their own “ray of sunburst,” and dip it in a sauce. Also great for an everyday family dinner as a fun way to eat a simple meal. And of course, kids love it! Bring a little sunshine into your life with this great recipe!

Ingredients

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out 1 puff pastry. Using a rolling pin, make a circle. Take a glass and press it upside down onto the dough, in the center of your circle (this is just to make an impression, do not let it cut through the dough.) This is the imprint for the center of your sunburst.
- Spread mascarpone, place the slices of turkey, and sprinkle with cheese all around, avoiding the center. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover with the second puff pastry. Make your second puff pastry the same size and shape as the first one. With an upside down glass, again make the imprint for the center of the sunburst. With a knife, cut the rays.
- Twist every ray of sunburst about 3 times. (Be careful not to break any ray.)
- With a pastry brush, cover with egg yolk.
- Bake in oven for 35 minutes. Enjoy!
This is my own recipe, but there are so many variations that you can explore. Some of the most common fillings for the Tarte Soleil are : tapenade (olive purée) and tomatoes, pesto and sesame, tomatoes and basil. You can even make a sweet Tarte Soleil with Nutella® in it! (yes, I am talking to you, Nutella® lovers!)
Bon Appétit!
