This recipe gives you yet another excuse to keep a package of puff pastry in the freezer. If you prefer, swap out the marinated artichoke hearts for drained canned or thawed frozen artichoke hearts.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 ounces feta, divided
kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 14-ounce (1 sheet) or 17.3-ounce (2 sheets) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
all-purpose flour (for work surface)
2 4-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Blend cream and 2 ounces feta in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
2. If using 14-ounce package of puff pastry, cut in half and roll out each half on a lightly floured surface into a 16x10 rectangle. (If using 17.3-ounce package, use 1 sheet of pastry for each tart.) Transfer each piece of pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife, lightly score pastry (do not cut all the way through), leaving a 1 border.
3. Spread feta mixture over pastry, dividing evenly and staying within border. Arrange artichoke hearts over feta mixture and crumble remaining 2 ounces feta over; drizzle with oil. Brush pastry border with egg.
4. Bake tart until pastry is puffed and beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 minutes longer. Serve warm or at room temperature.
5. DO AHEAD: Tart can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

7. The feta and puff pastry in this tart pair well with any number of toppings. In place of the artichokes, try:
8. Red Pepper + Olive Scatter feta cream with jarred roasted red peppers, black olives, and chopped fresh rosemary, then bake. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
9. Asparagus + Egg Top cheese with asparagus that's been halved lengthwise. Once out of the oven, slide on a few fried eggs.
10. Smoked Salmon + Scallion Bake tart with feta only. When slightly cooled, add smoked salmon and sliced scallions.
