This leftover plum cheese tart is a simple use it up recipe that transforms soft stone fruit into delicious sweet tarts. If you’ve got leftover fruit in your fruit bowl and you don’t know what else to do with it, you can easily repurpose it.

This recipe is endlessly flexible, as you can use almost any soft fruit and create a new flavour-packed snack. So, the next time you’ve got soft fruit and you’re craving a sweet treat, give this leftover plum cheese tart a try!

Need

3 sheets of pastry (we’ve used filo)
40g melted butter or olive oil
2 eggs
100ml cream
120g crumbly cheese (we’ve used goat cheese)
2-4 plums (or any stone fruit you have to use up)
1 sprig rosemary chopped (optional)

How

  1. Preheat oven to 170oC, and grease 6 holes in a muffin tin.
  2. Cut pastry into squares big enough to allow pastry to fold over the top of the hole, and press into holes. (If using filo, brush each layer with melted butter or oil, using 4 layers per muffin).
  3. Bake pastry cases for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms brown a little. Remove from oven.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Crumbled cheese, salt and pepper and rosemary. Gently stir together. Pour mixture into each tart.
  5. Slice stone fruit and place on top of each tart.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Enjoy!

Chef’s Tip: For extra deliciousness, drizzle honey on top to serve once cooled.
