Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Lightly score a border around the edges of the pastry without cutting all the way through.
  4. Spread the cream cheese or ricotta inside the border.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the pastry.
  6. Arrange the tomato slices on top, slightly overlapping them.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and season with oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the tomatoes are lightly roasted.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Pat the tomato slices dry before assembling the tart to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Goat cheese, feta, burrata, or ricotta can be used for different flavor variations.
  • Add caramelized onions or roasted garlic for deeper savory flavor.
  • Thinly sliced zucchini or chili flakes make excellent additions.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp pastry texture.
  • This tart can be served warm or at room temperature.
