Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases, keeping it roughly at its original size.
Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry to create a crust but avoid cutting all the way through. Poke the center area with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic oil mixture over the center of the puff pastry, avoiding the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the oiled area, followed by a layer of tomato slices. Slightly overlap the slices if needed.
Top the tomatoes with Parmesan cheese and place the tart in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Scatter the fresh basil leaves on top before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
