Peach Tarts with Goat Cheese & Honey showcases summer peaches that caramelize beautifully and pair deliciously with the warm goat cheese.
It’s the height of summertime and that means fresh peaches are in season.
I was looking for a recipe other than a cobbler or pie. Those won’t get eaten in my house. It must be the guilt.
I wanted something easy to make with simple ingredients. I found it in these sweet Peach Tarts with Goat Cheese & Honey.
The peaches caramelize beautifully and pair deliciously with the warm goat cheese.
I drizzled sweet summer honey purchased from a local beekeeper over each tart.
What a difference fresh honey from the farm market makes compared to the store-bought stuff. Absolutely delicious!
I got my inspiration for this recipe from the latest addition of Southern Living magazine.
They had several pages of recipes featuring plums, nectarines, peaches and cherries.
I had 25 pounds of peaches from the Georgia Peach Truck and the recipe for easy-to-make tarts stood out to me. I changed quite a few things.
First of all, I used peaches instead of nectarines and added goat cheese and fresh ground pepper to the recipe.
The result is a sweet and spicy pastry that tastes gourmet.
If you didn’t know any better you would think that I bought it from a French bakery.
Yes, they were that good and simple to make. That’s my kind of recipe!
This recipe would make a perfect appetizer or dessert for any party. And leftovers would be delicious for breakfast.
I’m thinking when pears are in season these tarts would be delicious with brie and sweet pears.
Hmmm… I’m already thinking ahead.

For everyday living, I like to prepare dishes that take little time, where the ingredients are easy to find at the local grocer and above all, taste good.

Thanks. They were a hit.
I used crescent roll dough since I somehow lost the puff pastry on the way home from the store…but these were amazing anyway!
Great idea. What an easy replacement when you can’t get the puff pastry. Thanks
