Tarte Fleur (Flower Tart)

This tart looks so pret­ty! As soon as I saw it, want­ed to make it! And it tastes as good as it looks! Appro­pri­ate­ly named “tarte fleur,” which means flower tart in French, this savory tart con­sists of thin slices of veg­eta­bles and pro­sciut­to, arranged in the shape of a flower. What a beau­ti­ful way to eat veg­eta­bles! This tart is sure to impress your guests and fam­i­ly, not to men­tion the kids in your life!

The tarte fleur looks like it might be dif­fi­cult to make, but it real­ly isn’t. All you need is a good veg­etable peel­er. If you don’t have one, I rec­om­mend this high­ly-rat­ed veg­etable peeler:

Alter­na­tive­ly, you could use a man­do­line.

This is a real­ly fun tart to make as you can use your cre­ativ­i­ty to cre­ate a beau­ti­ful flower. The fol­low­ing recipe is my own recipe, but if you are look­ing for a sim­i­lar recipe in French, you can find one here

Instruc­tions

1. Pre­heat oven to 350 degrees Fahren­heit.
2. Roll out your puff pas­try to fit into the tart pan. Spread the mus­tard and the cream on the pas­try.
3. With a veg­etable peel­er, make thin slices of about equal size of all veg­eta­bles. Cut thin stripes of pro­sciut­to with a knife.

   
4. First, cre­ate the cen­ter of your flower by plac­ing one or two rolled-up slices of veg­etable in the mid­dle of your tart. Then, start­ing from the out­er edge, arrange the slices of veg­etable and pro­sciut­to in cir­cles, alter­nat­ing the col­ors, so as to make a pret­ty flower.

   
5. Once you are done mak­ing your flower, driz­zle with olive oil and sprin­kle with salt and pep­per.

   
6. Bake in the oven for 25 min­utes. Let it cool down. Enjoy!

   

Recipe Notes

Pro­sciut­to is option­al. If you want to make this tart into a veg­etable dish, just remove the prosciutto.

You can also use oth­er veg­eta­bles such as egg­plant, and add herbs like basil.
