Mediterranean Tomato Tart
This Mediterranean tomato tart layers juicy summer tomatoes, briny olives, creamy goat cheese and fresh herbs over crisp, golden puff pastry. It's an easy, colourful vegetarian tart that tastes like a holiday on the Mediterranean coast.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry fresh
- 200 g goat cheese cream
- ¼ cup hard goat cheese grated
- 400 g tomatoes sliced
- ¼ cup olives sliced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh herbs such as thyme, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
- Lay the puff pastry sheet on a lined baking tray.
- Spread the goat cheese cream all over the puff pastry sheet.
- Cover with a single layer of tomato and olive slices, then sprinkle with the grated hard goat cheese.
- Season with salt, pepper and thyme, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Serve hot, with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Pat the tomato slices dry before assembling to keep the pastry crisp. Best served fresh and warm, though leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days and can be reheated in the oven.
