Ingredients

• 1 sheet Pre-made puff pastry sheet
• 500 g Heirloom or cherry tomatoes
• 200 g Ricotta cheese
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 egg Egg, beaten
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle roughly 9x12 inches (23x30 cm). Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will form the tart's crust.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the ricotta mixture evenly within the scored border of the pastry.

Step 6

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds or halves, depending on their size. Arrange them over the ricotta mixture, slightly overlapping to create a colorful display.

Step 7

Drizzle the tomatoes lightly with olive oil and honey.

Step 8

Brush the beaten egg over the scored border of the pastry to help it achieve a golden brown color during baking.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
