This super easy puff pastry hack went viral on TikTok for a good reason – it’s a delicious way to create customized, fancy-looking tarts in just 20 minutes with very minimal effort! The recipe calls for ready-made puff pastry (which is usually vegan-friendly – check the back of the pack). You can use whatever fillings you would like – this works well as sweet (think fruit and jam) or savory (cheese, onion, etc). In this recipe, I have used a classic combination of onion, balsamic glaze, and sundried tomatoes.

Ingredients

2 sheets frozen puff pastry
150 g sundried tomatoes from a deli, not a jar
1 red onion large
olive oil
balsamic glaze
salt
cheese plant-based, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F. Thaw puff pastry to room temperature.
Slice onion into rounds, roughly 0.5cm (1/4 inch) thick.
Once puff pastry has thawed, slice into quarters. Or if you prefer a round shape, place a small bowl onto the puff pastry upside down to use as a stencil. Run a knife around the edge of the bowl.
Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Drizzle roughly 1 tsp of olive oil in a circle, then followed by a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Place a slice of onion on top of the oil/balsamic drizzle and then top with 2 or 3 sun dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and, if using add a tbsp of grated cheese (optional).
Place your puff pastry piece on top, pressing down around the edges as best you can, using a fork to press it onto the baking paper. Repeat this so you have 8 in total. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until your pastry is cooked through and is looking golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes, then flip over with a spatula. Eat immediately, enjoy!
