Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and score a border about 1/2 inch from the edge using a knife.
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.
- Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the ricotta mixture, pressing them lightly into the filling. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.
- Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Choose ripe tomatoes for a flavorful tart. Customize the cheese or add nuts for extra texture. Can be prepared ahead and reheated before serving.
