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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spread the pesto evenly within the scored border of the puff pastry.
Step 5
Slice the tomatoes evenly into thin rounds and arrange them over the pesto in a single layer.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil on top, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish the tart with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.
