This post is sponsored by Emmi Cheese. Are these not just the cutest, sweetest, little handheld tarts? I created them completely on a whim one night, certainly never thinking of ever sharing the recipe. But after the first bite, I knew this was a recipe was a keeper. These savory peach tarts are mouthwateringly delicious and beyond easy to throw together at a moment’s notice. All you need is few pantry staples…puff pastry, cheese, and honey. Along with some fresh summer produce…peaches, basil, and thyme. Oh, and some fig preserves. These certainly aren’t a must if you don’t have any on hand. But the preserves add another really nice layer of flavor that I find delicious. Start out by cutting each sheet of pastry into rectangles and spread with fig preserves (if using). Top the preserves with creamy, melty Le Crémeux cheese. Add sweet peach slices, send to the oven, and wait patiently for 15 minutes… Then finish with honey, thyme, flaky salt, and plenty of black pepper. Quick, easy, perfect, and SO GOOD! The key to these tarts is the creamy Le Crémeux cheese. I recently learned more about the process of making Le Crémeux cheese and was kind of blown away. I had no idea how much time and work goes into creating creamy, delicious cheese. Le Crémeux is part of the KALTBACH line of cave-aged cheeses. It’s carefully crafted in the deep, cool Kaltbach Cave, in the Alpine Valley of Switzerland. Now here’s the really cool part. Kaltbach is a 22 million-year-old natural sandstone labyrinth with a small river running through it. Kaltbach actually means “cold river”, it’s what allows for a constant humidity of 96 percent in the mineral-rich cave air. This natural process regulates the humidity. In fact, it’s a crucial part of the texture and flavor development of the cheese. It’s what makes this cheese unlike any other in the world. And trust me when I say this, it really is like no other cheese. The Le Crémeux is so creamy and extra melty, similar to brie, but with more flavor. It was, of course, the perfect pairing for these cheesy peach tarts. I’m very excited to be making these tarts all summer long. If you’re entertaining this 4th of July, these NEED to be on your menu. They make a great, easy, seasonal appetizer that everyone really loves. Lastly, I’m excited to tell you that Kaltbach is giving away 100 wheels of their Emmi KALTBACH Cave-Aged Le Crémeux cheese.
