And cheese…plenty of amazing cheese on these tarts!
But what’s a good savory tart without some awesome cheese??? Probably not one I would make, but to each their own. You know I cannot live without cheese.
Oh, and… BALSAMIC ROASTED PEACHES.
Those get two thumbs up and then some. It will be a sad day when the peaches are gone…but then there are apples, so maybe not so sad actually?? I don’t know, I love them both!!
Oh and guys, happy August!! I still cannot believe it’s August, but I have made it may goal to live it up this last full month of summer with some KILLER recipes. I am talking, corn, zucchini, peaches and tomatoes galore. AND of course I’m also thinking some ice cream too, I mean duh.
Ok, ok and I maybe have a kind of fun post that I’m already pretty excited about. What?!? You guys, we are all friends here and it’s kind of hard not to share my excitement with you all. The anticipation is real.
The point is August is going to be full of goodness around here and basically the blog is about to reach it’s all time most delicious level, and it all starts with these tarts.
At first, this recipe was so many other things than the tarts you see here. Starting out, this was actually a lamb recipe. It turned out beautifully, but I don’t know, I wasn’t that into my lamb chops. Honestly, I think I maybe just had some fatty lamb and I didn’t like the way they looked. Either way, I got pretty discouraged and ditched the lamb and then somehow the remaining ingredients morphed into these tarts.
I REALLY wanted to make you guys a quick and simple summer recipe. I knew I wanted to use balsamic vinegar and peaches, like that combo was a must. My original thoughts were to just do balsamic peaches with chicken in a pan and then call it a day. Great recipe, but just a little boring and umm, where are carbs??
You guys know how I feel about carb-less meals, and for some reason I really like showing you complete meals. I know that you would be happy with just a chicken recipe, but I feel guilty making you figure out what to put with it. Make sense? Probably not.
It’s my brain. It tends to fight me on things like this…crazy person.
Somewhere along the brainstorming line and in between texts from my mom and little sister about possible dogs (I want a dog so bad, but training one?? Not so much…the struggle…the decision…ugh) I decided that basil chicken and prosciutto tarts were the perfect answer to the mini “issue” I was having.
First off puff pastry is THE BEST and anytime it’s used in a recipe you know the recipe is going to be good. Plus, the pastry provides the carbs I am looking for and makes the recipe SO easy.
And so delicious. Heck yes.
You can make this entire meal in less than an hour with most of that hour being in the cooking. Which means that for a good 35-40 minutes while these pretty tarts are baking you can be chillaxing doing whatever it is you want. If you are me, that means making a batch of ice cream, but I get the feeling some of you may be a lot cooler than me and actually grab a drink and chill.
I don’t know how to chill…
And yes, those peaches? Those peaches are everything!! The flavors were inspired by this incredible salad, which you should all make with any leftover peaches you may have.
I love fresh peaches, but peaches roasted with a little honey and a little balsamic is a game changer guys. No really.
Put them on a piece of cheesy, flaky puff pastry with basil and prosciutto and well, you’ll have a combo that will win over just about anyone. This is definitely one of these easy meals that will impress all.
And I will not tell if you fib a little and say you made your own pastry…

Monday tarts = the right thing to do. The End.
Hello, I am trying these tomorrow but I have a question. Do the chicken and prosciutto go on top of pastry without me folding it? Like it is not a stuffed tart, correct? So I dont need to fold?
Thank you ?
Hi Andrea! That’s correct! 🙂 xTieghan
I love this recipe. I make it every year during peach season
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you Emily!
Balsamic and peaches sounds like one beautiful combination!
Thanks so much, Brenda!
This looks so perfect! I wouldn’t even bother adding the chicken!
Thanks Cassandra! And I totally know what you mean! 🙂 LOL!
Tieghan, these tarts are crazy beautiful! And I’m a sucker for anything prosciutto, puff pastry, or balsamic, so these are pretty much my dream!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! Totally means a lot!!
Have a great week, Alana!!
Oh my word… have you ever considered taping a show?! I can’t imagine I’m the only one who would find it great fun to actually watch how your meal evolved from lamb chops to chicken to these ridiculously gorgeous tarts! (All while contemplating life with a puppy 🙂 Then again, it IS so much fun to read about your adventures in the kitchen. Love the blog Tieghan. You continue to be an inspiration.
How gorgeous are these tarts! Balsamic and peaches are a perfect match.
These look delicious and perfect or a summer dish. Your pictures are amazing and I love your blog as well. I will definitely give this recipe a try!
You just can’t beat this flavor combination. Funny thing is that I have a post coming up that has contains some of the same items. Great minds! 🙂
Hi Tieghan, thank God for your blog and this tart is gorgeous with plenty of the right stuff: cheese. I am just a family law professional with a food blog for my own fun (and also I’ve met a ton of nice people whom I now consider “friends” via the blog), but I read a ton of food literature including magazines, books, and blogs and I am smitten with your blog. Your voice is so real. And I like that you’re not selling me a lifestyle or showing me photos of your hands with dainty jewelry on them. Just give me cheese! Bravo kiddo, and I wish you continued success. The barn is gorgeous too!!!
Just perfect for the lazy days of August.
These are beautiful and delicious! I love the peach and balsamic combo!
Totally need these tarts in my belly ASAP! Love this flavor combo.
I wonder if these can be made with pluots instead of peaches. I just discovered that wonderful fruit and would love to try cooking with it!
SO yummy!! I hope I can find puff pastries–I haven’t yet! 🙁
