Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rough rectangle or circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, and grated Parmesan evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  3. Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped basil, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Gently fold the edges of the pastry inward, overlapping slightly to create a rustic crust. Brush the folded edges with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Customize with different cheeses or add toppings like caramelized onions for extra flavor. Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking.
