Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 medium fresh tomatoes
• 2 links Italian sausage
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

If frozen, thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions. Roll it out slightly on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry (do not cut all the way through). Prick the interior of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing excessively while baking. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the Italian sausages from their casings and crumble them into the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and place them on a clean towel to drain any excess moisture. Mince the garlic.

Step 6

Lightly beat the egg and use it to brush the border of the puff pastry for a golden finish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the minced garlic over the interior of the pastry. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle the thyme, salt, and black pepper over the tomatoes.

Step 8

Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
