This cherry and peach tart couldn’t be easier. It’s a delicious and impressive dish to serve at your next brunch or breakfast.
One of the things I love about this breakfast dish, is how easy it is. You embed peach slices in puff pastry and then top it with fresh, pitted cherries.
The pastry bakes up to a golden brown and the fruit softens. And sprinkle a little confectioner’s sugar on top and you’re in for a treat.
When I decided to make this, I couldn’t decide which fruit to put first in the title. The peach or the cherry. So, when I finally made my decision, I put the cherry first because I like that fruit more than I like peaches.
Though, don’t get me wrong, I do love peaches, but cherries . . . ❤️

Helpful tips
- There are a few ways to pit cherries but I prefer to use a gadget as it makes it so easy. Just make sure you wear an apron to protect your clothes since cherry juice can stain.
- You need to take out the puff pastry at least 40 minutes before you start the recipe so it can thaw. The pastry will be folded in thirds. I set a timer for 20 minutes and then open the pastry and place it on the jelly roll pan.
- Wash the fruit before you use them. Here’s how to wash the peaches: squirt some unscented, natural soap and rub the peaches with the soap. Then use a vegetable brush to scrub the skin. Run the fruit under cold water to remove all the soap. (I use the 365 brand from Whole Foods. It’s a foaming hand soap)
- Here’s how to wash cherries: Place them in a strainer and run water over them. Squirt some natural soap in your hands and pick up the cherries in handfuls and rub them with the soap until all the cherries have been washed. Run cold water over them until the soap has all been rinsed off.
