Making strawberry tarts
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Dust the working surface with flour and place the thawed puff pastry sheet on it.
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Using a rolling pin, lightly roll the sheets till they are about ½ inch longer on each side. Then, divide them into half using a pizza cutter or a kitchen knife.
Transfer the divided pastry sheet to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to gently pierce the sheet so it doesn't puff up while baking.
Brush only the edges of the pastry sheet with egg wash - this gives the baked strawberry tart its beautiful golden brown color.
1 Egg
Add a few spoonfuls of strawberry compote at the center and spread, leaving the edges.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Allow them to cool down for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with pistachios.
2 to 3 tablespoon Pistachios, chopped
