Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 225 grams Camembert cheese
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a tart pan or baking tray. Gently press the pastry into the pan and trim any overhanging edges.
Use a fork to prick the base of the pastry all over. This will help prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
Slice the Camembert cheese into thin rounds and set aside. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the egg mixture evenly over the puff pastry base, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Arrange the Camembert slices and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the egg mixture. Scatter the sliced garlic and fresh thyme leaves on top.
Drizzle the tart with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice the tart into portions and serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad if desired.
