Prepare the Puff Pastry
- On a parchment-lined surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12×9-inch rectangle.

- Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly on top.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberries.
- Transfer parchment with tart onto the preheated baking sheet.
Bake the Tart

- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
