Ingredients

  • 1 lbs (454 grams) small tomatoes, such as cherry, cocktail or strawberry, sliced into 1/4" pieces
  • 1 package (150 grams) herb and garlic soft cheese, such as Boursin* Cheese
  • 1 package puffed pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. 

  2. Line your largest baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puffed pastry to fit baking sheet. Place pastry on baking sheet. Using a sharp knife mark a border of about 1" around the pastry (without fully perforating the pastry). Using a fork poke the pastry inside the border (this will allow the air to escape and prevent the entire tart from rising). Bake for 15-20 min, until pastry is golden brown and the border rose. Remove from oven and let completely cool. (Putting the pastry in the fridge is a good way to speed up the cooling process).

  3. Place cheese in a small bowl and mash with a fork to soften. Spread cheese over pastry, keeping inside your border.

  4. Top with tomato slices in any design you prefer. Season with salt and pepper.

Recipe Notes

* Boursin Cheese is a herb and garlic soft cheese that is easy to spread. Usually available in the deli section of local grocery stores.
