A Simple and Summery Peach Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream with Fresh Basil

This dessert is easy to make and looks and tastes so elegant.  The directions are below.



Use frozen puff pastry, (I love Dufour), and lay out a rectangle of the pastry.  Slice fresh peaches thinly and lay out down the center of the rectangle. Sprinkle the peaches with sugar and a tiny bit of salt.  Fold the sides over and pinch down the edges as shown in the photo below.  Brush the edge of the pastry with an egg wash and then sprinkle a little bit more sugar.  Bake at 400 degrees until the pastry is nicely browned (should be about 20-25 minutes), then turn the oven off and let the pastry continue to cook through.  Serve with vanilla ice cream and sprinkle fresh basil over the top of the ice cream and pastry.
