This recipe is perfect for entertaining or a light meal, boasting vibrant Mediterranean flavors seasoned with garlic, oregano, and a touch of olive oil. The golden, crispy edges of the puff pastry create the perfect base for the melty, creamy feta and juicy caramelized tomatoes, while aromatic fresh basil adds a finishing touch. Ready in just 40 minutes, this easy-to-make slice is as visually impressive as it is delicious. Serve it warm or at room temperature for an effortless crowd-pleaser that’s bursting with bold flavors.
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!
