FRESH FRUIT TART WITH MASCARPONE
I always get recipe requests when I bring this fruit tart to parties. The mascarpone cheese adds a smooth richness that keeps everyone coming back for more. With the vibrant colors of the fresh fruit, this tart not only tastes great but is very eye catching. You can use any fruit to top the tart.

- Let butter, feta and cream cheese come to room temperature. Toast nuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until nuts are lightly toasted: remove from heat and set aside to cool. Note: I like to toast the nuts whole and chop them after to help prevent small pieces from burning.
