Roasted red pepper, bacon and shallot tart
How delicious does this look? I made this tart as one of my contributions to my bff’s baby shower a few weekends ago, and it was amazing! I found the recipe on the lovely Sweet Sugar Bean blog, and adapted it slightly. The original recipe features whole asparagus spears as one of the toppings, but I replaced them with jarred roasted red peppers and added sauteed shallots for a kick of flavour (click on the photo for a link to the recipe).
The base of the tart is puff pastry, which I had not yet worked with in any of my kitchen adventures, so it was a fun challenge for me. It made the tart light and airy, which was perfect for the way that I served it: I sliced it up into bite-sized pieces, each with an inidividual toothpick for easy munching!
