Tomato Tart

Without Parmesan Cheese                              

Valentine's day is around the corner, what better way to celebrate it than with heart-shaped tomatoes on a puff pastry! It's a great snack, but even a better appetizer for dinner parties or just for your everyday meal at home.


Ingredients:

• 1 Puff Pastry Sheet, defrosted 
• 4-5 Campari Tomatoes( or just small tomatoes)
• 2-3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Pepper
• Parmesan Cheese(Optional)--->

Tips before cooking:

• Leave the puff pastry sheet out at room temperature for about 40 minutes to defrost. 
• Don't overlap or overcrowd the tomatoes, it will make the puff soggy.
• Strip the springs of thyme beforehand, and place the bits in a small dish. 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lay the sheet of puff pastry out on a parchment paper or aluminum foil. With a fork, prick the dough all over to prevent it from puffing during baking.
2. Arrange the tomatoes on the pastry in a single layer. Sprinkle thyme evenly over tomatoes. Drizzle the tart with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and seasoned with pepper.
3. Bake the tart until the pastry is crisp and a golden brown around the edges, 30-40 minutes. If you're adding Parmesan Cheese, add it generously at around 20 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt.
