Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 0.333 cup Pesto
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a 9x13-inch baking tray. Transfer the pastry to a parchment-lined tray.
Use a sharp knife to score a 1-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a raised crust as it bakes.
Spread the pesto evenly within the scored border of the puff pastry.
Slice the tomatoes evenly into thin rounds and arrange them over the pesto in a single layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil on top, and season with salt and black pepper.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish the tart with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.
