Directions

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan or baking sheet. Transfer it to the pan and fold the edges to create a border.

Step

Arrange the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella alternately over the puff pastry. Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices.

Step

Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly roasted.

Step

If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the tart for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

Step

Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.

Tips for this recipe

For a variation, you can add a thin layer of pesto or Dijon mustard on the puff pastry before layering the tomatoes and mozzarella. This adds an extra depth of flavor to your Tomato Tart.
