Delightful Blueberry Puff Pastry Tart

Ingredients

- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon cream
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any folds. Transfer the rolled pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Create the Tart Edges:
Using a knife, lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the puff pastry. Be careful not to cut all the way through. This will allow the border to rise higher than the center.

4. Prepare the Blueberry Filling:
In a medium bowl, gently combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt, and almond extract, ensuring the berries are evenly coated.

5. Fill the Tart:
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly within the scored border, making sure not to cover the outer edges.

6. Egg Wash:
In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolk and cream. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.

7. Sprinkle Coarse Sugar:
Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the edges of the pastry to add a delightful crunch.

8. Bake:
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

9. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature.
