Knockout tarts

I'm going in for what is hopefully a minor surgical procedure tomorrow and can't eat or drink after midnight. I've had a bit of gallows humor all day, no matter how often you go through them, biopsies are pretty scary indeed.

I decided to make a nice last meal before I walked the green mile. Been on the tart thing and thought I would mix it up a tad.

Not only did I make apricot and nectarine tarts with blueberries, I prepared savory tarts tonight with Leslie's help.

We made puff pastry tarts with ricotta, spinach, mushrooms, garlic and prosciutto. A bit of red pepper and shaved parmigiana topped them off.

Truly wonderful and the recipe came right out of our heads. The prosciutto was flavored with black pepper and cherry. Knocked this one out of the park, I must say.
