Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 3 medium Tomatoes (heirloom or vine-ripened)
• 4 tablespoons Olive tapenade
• 0.25 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will act as the crust.

Step 4

Spread the olive tapenade evenly over the inner rectangle of the puff pastry, avoiding the border.

Step 5

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them over the tapenade, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top of the tomatoes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash along the border of the pastry.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 10

Slice the tart into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
