Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 200 grams fresh mozzarella
  • 3 medium ripe tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit the baking sheet. Carefully transfer it to the prepared sheet.

Step 3

Using a knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a raised edge when baked.

Step 4

Prick the center of the pastry (inside the border) all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.

Step 5

Slice the mozzarella into thin rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and set them aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the pricked area of the puff pastry.

Step 8

Layer the mozzarella slices evenly over the brushed area, leaving the border uncovered.

Step 9

Arrange the tomato slices over the mozzarella, slightly overlapping them.

Step 10

Sprinkle the tart with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this egg wash onto the outer border of the puff pastry.

Step 12

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
