Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Score the edges: Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1/2 inch from the edge of the pastry. This will create a raised edge for your tart.
  4. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry, staying within the scored border.
  5. Arrange the tomatoes: Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and pat them dry to prevent a soggy crust. Customize with additional toppings like olives or caramelized onions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
