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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Use a fork to prick the base of the pastry all over. This will help prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.

Step 4

Slice the Camembert cheese into thin rounds and set aside. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the garlic clove.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Brush the egg mixture evenly over the puff pastry base, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 7

Arrange the Camembert slices and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the egg mixture. Scatter the sliced garlic and fresh thyme leaves on top.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 10

Slice the tart into portions and serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad if desired.
