Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
Step 3
Transfer the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, gently score a 1-inch border around the edge, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the puff pastry, avoiding the scored edges.
Step 5
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and arrange them inside the scored border of the puff pastry, overlapping slightly as needed.
Step 6
Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes and basil, followed by the parmesan cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy!
