Notes

Enjoy the tart fresh but store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container. For reheating, use the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
Try substituting Roquefort with Gorgonzola or blue cheese if desired.
For a vegan version, use cashew cream and plant-based puff pastry.
Drizzle with honey before serving for an extra touch of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the tart flavors.
