Method

  1. Step 1

    Place the butter, cream cheese, salt and flour in a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the cream and process until the mixture just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead until smooth. Shape into a disc. Wrap the dough and place in the fridge for 30 mins to rest.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 30cm x 40cm rectangle. Carefully transfer to the lined tray. Fold in dough edges to make a 2cm border.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the dough lightly with the egg. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the pastry to a serving board. Arrange the rocket, salmon, onion and capers over the tart base. Top with goat’s cheese and sprinkle with chives and dill. Drizzle with pesto. Season. Serve with lemon wedges.

COOK. STORE. SAVE.

Plan ahead: If you’re having smoked salmon on a grazing platter at Christmas, return what’s left to the fridge as soon as you move on to the next course – this keeps it fresh for this tart the next day.
