This tart is quick and easy to make. I love the taste of puff pastry in savory dishes, so I always keep a package in the fridge.
Very rich. Since we don't have access to really good salmon without paying an arm & leg for it we tried the "poor mans" alternative. We smoked our own cheaper salmon & used 5 oz of Morrey's smoked salmon. We couldn't find creme fraiche so looked up a substitute which I decided wasn't going to happen either by letting heavy cream and yogurt sit out for 6 hrs. (some instructions even said to put through a cheese cloth). Instead as a last minute idea I used a cup of heavy cream, 1T milk & a squirt of lemon. Since a yogurt subsitute can be milk & lemon/or vinegar I went with that. Wow it came out delicious. Next time we'll use less salmon & smoke ourselves & try using only a cup of gruyere cheese because I thought it was to heavy in cheese taste. Probably will make once a year cause it is sooooo rich tasting & don't need tummy problems. Definite leftovers when only for 2 people.

New favorite Christmas dish according to my husband and son! Even though I made these changes due to the ingredients we had on hand: - heavy cream vs creme fraise - broccoli (frozen )vs salmon
Made this recipe for my Christmas Eve celebration. I did not change a thing in the recipe. There was not a crumb left!! Everyone who ate it loved it. It was very easy to prepare & I will definitely be making this again!
