Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 pieces Large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and trim any uneven edges to form a neat rectangle.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will allow the edge to puff up during baking.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese inside the scored border, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange the slices on top of the cheese, slightly overlapping them.
Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden-brown finish in the oven.
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 cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice the tart into portions and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Tomato and Cheddar Tart!
