Description

This Watermelon Feta Tart combines the juicy sweetness of watermelon with the creamy, salty feta cheese and tangy balsamic glaze, all set on a crispy pie crust. It’s a surprising flavor combination that’s both refreshing and sophisticated, perfect for impressing guests at any summer gathering or serving as a unique appetizer.

Ingredients

For the Tart:

1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)

3 cups cubed watermelon (about 3/4-inch cubes work best)

4 oz feta cheese, crumbled (block feta in brine works best)

2 tbsp balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Crust:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the pie crust into a tart pan, ensuring it fits evenly into the bottom and sides.
  3. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork to prevent puffing. Blind-bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and set. Let it cool completely.
  4. 2. Prepare the Watermelon:
  5. Cut the watermelon into neat cubes, about 3/4 inch in size. Pat the cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess juice.
  6. 3. Assemble the Tart:
  7. Arrange the watermelon cubes over the cooled pie crust in a single layer, leaving space between the pieces.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta generously over the watermelon, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  9. 4. Finishing Touches:
  10. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tart in a decorative pattern just before serving.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a beautiful, restaurant-worthy look.
  12. 5. Serve:
  13. Slice the tart into 8 wedges and serve immediately while it’s chilled. Enjoy the refreshing and savory flavors!

Notes

  • Blind-Baking: Don’t skip this step—it ensures your crust stays crispy instead of becoming soggy from the watermelon juices.
  • Watermelon Prep: Pat the watermelon cubes dry to remove excess moisture for the best texture and presentation.
  • Assemble Just Before Serving: This ensures the tart maintains its optimal texture and appearance.
