Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Gently fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a rustic border. Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the taste. Serve warm for the best experience, and consider pairing with a fresh salad.
