Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 300 grams cherry tomatoes
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking tray. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) from the edges to create a crust. Be careful not to cut through completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the border of the puff pastry with the egg wash to help it turn golden during baking.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the center of the puff pastry sheet, staying within the scored border.
Arrange the seasoned cherry tomatoes cut-side up over the crumbled feta cheese. Spread them out evenly for consistent cooking.
Bake the slice in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.
Remove the slice from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
