Roll out the puff pastry into a thin layer over parchment paper.

Cut the puff pastry into a rectangle using a cookie cutter.

Cut strips along each long side of the rectangle.

Place each strip along the border of the rectangle and press down.

You can keep the dough in one big piece for a tart or cut it into three pieces for individual servings.

Using a fork, poke the center of the dough.

Place aluminum foil in the center of the dough and add dry beans on top to weigh it down while baking.

Brush the edges with egg yolk for a golden color.

Place the puff pastry on a baking pan.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the puff pastry until golden brown.

Carefully remove the foil and beans from the center once cooked.

Let the puff pastry cool down to room temperature.

Cover the center of each puff pastry with pastry cream.

Decorate with mixed fruits.

Dilute the peach or apricot jam with orange blossom water to prepare the glaze.

Brush the fruit with the glaze.

Serve the pastries cold or at room temperature.
