Ingredients

• 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 4-5 thin prosciutto slices

• 2/3 cup pitted dates, roughly chopped

• 100g gorgonzola, crumbled

• 1 cup picked watercress leaves

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 200°C (fan-forced)* or 220°C (not fan-forced). Place pastry on a lined baking sheet. Fold in edges to form a 1cm border, then prick base with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.

• Step 2

  Brush with egg and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cover pastry with another baking tray to flatten and bake for a further 5 minutes. Meanwhile, lay prosciutto on a baking tray and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Lay prosciutto over tart and scatter with dates and cheese. Return to oven for 3 minutes or until cheese just melts.

• Step 3

  To serve, scatter tart with watercress, drizzle over lemon juice and oil, and slice.
