Ingredients
• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 lb (450g) of ripe, juicy tomatoes, sliced
• 1/2 cup (120ml) of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) of fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) of fresh oregano, chopped
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) of black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to prick the surface of the pastry, creating a grid pattern. This will help prevent the pastry from puffing up too much during baking.
- Layer the Tomatoes: Arrange the sliced tomatoes in a single layer on top of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch (2.5cm) border around the edges.
- Add the Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the tomatoes. Then, scatter the chopped basil and oregano on top.
- Season and Bake: Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the entire tart. Brush the exposed pastry edges with the beaten egg. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly charred around the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve the 30-Minute Tomato Tart Puff Pastry warm, garnished with additional fresh basil or oregano if desired.
