Havarti Cheese and Ham Tart

Ingredients

Salt

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Fresh thyme

1 tablespoon, chopped

Egg

1, beaten

Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons

Ham

1/2 cup, thinly sliced

Havarti cheese

1 cup, thinly sliced

Frozen puff pastry

1 sheet, thawed

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a tart pan.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet so that it is large enough to fit your tart pan.
3. Gently press the pastry into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan, trimming any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
4. Evenly spread the Dijon mustard over the pastry base.
5. Arrange the thinly sliced Havarti cheese and ham on top of the mustard layer.
6. Season the tart with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh thyme.
7. Brush the beaten egg over the visible edges of the pastry. This will give it a beautiful golden color once baked.
8. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will ensure the tart holds its shape when cut.
