Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 10x12-inch rectangle. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edge of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. Prick the interior section with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the border of the puff pastry for a golden finish.

Step 5

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the interior of the puff pastry, avoiding the border.

Step 7

Arrange the tomato halves over the cheese layer, cut side up, slightly overlapping them if needed.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper over the tomatoes.

Step 9

Drizzle the olive oil over the top for a glistening finish.

Step 10

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 11

Allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves, if desired.
