Summer tomatoes, sigh.... nothing much better than 'em.  This tomato tart recipe with puff pastry is uber addicting.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 puff pastry (~14 oz), read thawing instructions
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese (chèvre), crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup basil, sliced & divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.  Lay out a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
  • Bring a medium pan to medium high heat and add ~ 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil.  Add sliced onions and 1/4 tsp salt.  
  • Cook ~25 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions are brown and caramelized.  Stir in thyme and remove from heat.
  • Slice the tomatoes and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.  Lay out on a paper towel lined platter and sprinkle with salt. (This helps removes excess water).
  • Lay the thawed puff pastry on the lined baking sheet and roll out evenly with a rolling pin (sometimes you don't need to roll it out if it's already flat).
  • Pinch up or roll the edges to form a small crust.  
  • Poke the pastry inside the crust with a fork several times.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on the pastry.  Spread the cooled caramelized onions on the Parmesan
  • Layer the tomatoes and sprinkle with goat cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake ~ 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.  
  • Place on a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes.  
  • Garnish with basil and add salt to taste. Happy Summer Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Let caramelize onions cool before adding to puff pastry.
  • If having problems with a soggy crust then pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes
  • Use roma tomatoes if crust is soggy.
  • Make tarts smaller or individual size if you want to maximize crispy crust.
