Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 4 medium ripe tomatoes
• 120 grams goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to approximately a 30x30 cm square. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking tray.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 2 cm border around the edges of the pastry without cutting all the way through. This will create the crust. Prick the inside of the border with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.

Step 4

Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on paper towels to drain excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with minced garlic, half of the thyme leaves, salt, and ground black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the center of the pastry, staying within the border.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the goat cheese mixture, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle the remaining thyme leaves over the tomatoes.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, and sprinkle an additional pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the border of the pastry.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Tomato Tarte!
