This Mother’s Day, we’re stepping up our brunch game with a delightful twist: a Cannabis Infused Heirloom Tomato Tart.
This recipe not only showcases the beauty and flavor of heirloom tomatoes but also introduces the relaxing benefits of cannabis infused olive oil, making it the perfect centerpiece for a celebratory meal.
As we gather to honor the incredible women in our lives, why not add a touch of gourmet sophistication and a hint of wellness? Our heirloom tomato tart does just that, featuring juicy, colorful tomatoes atop a creamy, herb-infused base, all encased in a flaky, golden crust. The infusion of cannabis offers a gentle relaxation that complements the light, fresh flavors of the dish.
This brunch is about creating a moment of appreciation, relaxation, and joy. Imagine sitting around a beautifully set table, the tart proudly at the center, surrounded by the smiles of loved ones. The ambiance is serene, the conversation light, and the mood uplifted, enhanced subtly by the cannabis infusion.
To complete your brunch, consider pairing the tart with other light dishes such as a fresh spring salad, a selection of fruit-infused beverages, and perhaps a floral-infused dessert to round out the theme. Each dish not only contributes to the overall elegance of the meal but also enhances the communal experience of dining together on this special day.
Remember, the key to cooking with cannabis is moderation and understanding your ingredients. Start with small amounts of cannabis infused oil and adjust based on your comfort and familiarity with its effects. This ensures that every guest can enjoy the meal and the day to its fullest.
Ingredients:
- Puff Pastry: 1 sheet, thawed
- Heirloom Tomatoes: 3-4 medium, thinly sliced
- Cannabis Infused Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Fresh Herbs: Basil, thyme, and oregano, finely chopped
- Ricotta Cheese: 1/2 cup
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, grated
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
- Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
Prepare the Pastry
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly score a border about 1 inch from the edge all around the pastry and prick the center with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Add the Filling
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread this mixture within the border of the puff pastry.
Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes over the ricotta.
Drizzle the cannabis-infused olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with chopped herbs and grated parmesan.
Bake
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Serve
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and a drizzle of cannabis-infused olive oil if desired.
This dish combines the vibrant, juicy flavors of ripe heirloom tomatoes with the aromatic depth of fresh herbs and a cannabis infused olive oil drizzle. This tart is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delightful combination of flavors that are enhanced by the elevating effects of cannabis. Enjoy your culinary creation!
