Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium Tomatoes (heirloom or vine-ripened)
- 4 tablespoons Olive tapenade
- 0.25 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
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 act as the crust.
Spread the olive tapenade evenly over the inner rectangle of the puff pastry, avoiding the border.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them over the tapenade, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and black pepper.
Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top of the tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash along the border of the pastry.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice the tart into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
