Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a raised crust once baked.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it along the scored border of the pastry to promote a golden finish.
Spread the goat cheese evenly over the inner rectangle of the pastry, leaving the border uncovered.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them cut-side up over the goat cheese. Distribute them evenly across the tart.
Drizzle the olive oil and honey over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry are puffed and golden brown and the tomatoes are gently roasted.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
