Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 3 links sausages (Italian or breakfast-style)
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions if frozen. Roll it out slightly to create a 10x12-inch rectangle.

Step 3

Score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the pastry using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Prick the center area all over with a fork. Set aside.

Step 4

Remove the casings from the sausage links and crumble the sausage into small pieces.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the border of the pastry with the egg wash.

Step 7

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the center area of the pastry.

Step 8

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on top of the sausage, cut side up.

Step 9

Thinly slice or tear the mozzarella cheese and distribute it between the tomatoes.

Step 10

Finely chop the garlic and sprinkle it over the tart. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 11

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the filling.

Step 12

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove the tart from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 14

Slice into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
