Notes

For variations, consider using Gorgonzola instead of Roquefort, or substitute puff pastry with shortcrust pastry. If making ahead, assemble the tart a day in advance and refrigerate, then bake when ready. Consider garnishing with microgreens or edible flowers for presentation and serve with a green salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days or freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment paper.
