How to Prepare the Savory Tart with Potatoes and Bacon
Unroll a sheet of rectangular puff pastry and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (you can use the paper that comes with the pastry).
Prick the pastry with a fork so that it doesn’t puff up too much during baking.
Cover the base of the puff pastry with slices of bacon and spread slices of cheese like Emmental on top.
In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir with a spoon.
Add the béchamel sauce and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Add the milk and continue mixing until you get a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
Evenly spread the potato mixture over the puff pastry, leveling it well with a spoon.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to close the tart. Sprinkle the surface with breadcrumbs and add a drizzle of olive oil for a perfect golden crust.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (static mode) for about 30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven, let it cool down a bit, then cut into slices and serve.
Storage
The savory tart can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It can be reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
FAQ
Can I substitute the bacon?
If you prefer a lighter version, you can replace the bacon with cooked ham or vegetables like grilled zucchini or eggplant.
How can I substitute the cheese?
If you don’t have Emmental, you can use cheeses like mozzarella, fontina, or caciocavallo, which melt well.
How can I substitute the béchamel sauce?
If you want a lighter alternative to béchamel sauce, you can replace it with fresh ricotta or Greek yogurt.
