I love the counter-textures of this 4th of July breakfast recipe – you get a soft crunch from the puff pastry, smooth velvet from the whipped yogurt, and light sweet juices from the berries…not quite a pop rocks-fireworks in your mouth, but just as interesting.

To make this puff pastry breakfast tart, you start by simply rolling out store-bought puff pastry (or use your favorite homemade recipe if you have one). You can make it even easier by buying a pre-rolled puff pastry sheet – the kind that you don’t even need a rolling pin.

Next score the puff pastry sheet, about 1/2 inch from the edge, and poke the entire surface within the lines with a fork. Poking the surface allows steam to escape, so you don’t end up with a puffed pastry base that is too uneven. Bake the sheet, and allow it to cool.

While you’re waiting, whip the heavy cream until medium to stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt.

When the puff pastry base is done and cooled, spread the whipped Greek Yogurt across the bottom, then finally top it off with the berries. Finish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and that’s it! You have your Puff Pastry Breakfast Tart ready to be served and enjoyed.

Kids will love to help make this Fourth of July recipe. Turn this breakfast recipe into a fun activity.

For the parents, this is a great Fourth of July recipe for kids. Making this red, white and blue breakfast can be a fun activity with your kids. This is an easy recipe that kids (and even toddlers) can help make.

How can kids help make this simple Fourth of July recipe?

• Kids can unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a baking pan
• Kids can use a fork and prick holes all over the top of the puff pastry sheet before baking
• Kids can help pour the whipping cream into the bowl, and help hold the hand mixer
• Kids can use a spatula to fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream
• Kids can spread the whipped Greek yogurt onto the cooled pastry base
• And my toddler’s favorite step… sprinkling the berries on top (because of course he knows exactly where the berries should go…).

This Puff Pastry Breakfast Tart is best served immediately after you assemble it, so gather everyone around when the last berries are being placed on. The puff pastry base will become soggy if you let the whipped Greek yogurt sit on it for too long.

I’m anticipating some questions that you may have about this recipe… If you do need to make this recipe ahead of time, you’ll want to create a barrier between the puff pastry and the whipped Greek yogurt.

The best way I’ve found is to melt some dark chocolate and spread a very thin layer across the puff pastry with a silicone brush. Once the chocolate has hardened (you can pop it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the process), spread the whipped Greek yogurt on top of the chocolate layer. That will help seal the puff pastry from the moisture of the whipped Greek yogurt.

But even then, I recommend eating this tart within a couple hours, as you don’t want the Greek yogurt and whipped cream to be sitting out too long. And puff pastry is always tastiest shortly after it comes out of the oven.
