Sweet and Savory Nectarine Tarts

Some things I learned last weekend:

1. Anything tastes good with puff pastry.

2. Nectarines taste best with said puff pastry.

3. Gouda cheese and nectarines should be best friends.

Nectarine and Gouda Tart

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Step 2:

Line baking sheet with parchment paper (super important).

Step 3:

Slice 1 nectarine and Gouda.

(about 18 slices of each)

Step 3:

Alternate nectarines and Gouda like so.

Step 5:

Bake in oven for 15 or so minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Warning:

The nectarines might give off a lot of juice, making your tart look really soggy.

No worries! When it cools, the juice will gel into a nice, beautiful glaze.

 It's best when served warm and the cheese is a little gooey.

 Vanilla Nectarine Tart

Step 1:

Do everything like the previous tart without the nectarines. 

Step 2:

When it's cool, melt 1/2 cup white baking chips and drizzle.

There you have it:

A super easy appetizer and dessert.
