Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
Transfer the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, gently score a 1-inch border around the edge, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the puff pastry, avoiding the scored edges.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and arrange them inside the scored border of the puff pastry, overlapping slightly as needed.
Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes and basil, followed by the parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy!
