The Foodist: Blueberry, Rosemary Pop Tart

The Foodist: Blueberry, Rosemary Pop Tart

A lovely little open pop tart pastry!

This was a surprising and delightful and open-faced The Foodist: Blueberry, Rosemary Pop Tart. These were a surprise treat on a snowed-in evening in sub-zero conditions outside. Rick was so delighted by how cute they turned out!

The secret here is Pillsbury Puff Pastry sheets cut into rectangles with the center poked with holes so it doesn't rise. Rick just repurposed his blueberry galette filling recipe with rosemary, and lemon in this cute little pivot. The perfect late night snack or brunch treat.
