Ingredients for the Goat Cheese Tart:

  • 2 tomatoes Or 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt for tomatoes
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic-infused olive oil
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly shredded
  • 8 grinds ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning ½ for under tomatoes, ½ for on top of tomatoes
  • 2 Basil leaves Fresh, if available, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare Tomatoes.

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Slice the tomatoes into thick slices, arrange them on a towel or paper towels, and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Allow to sit while preparing pastry.
    2 tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon salt

Prepare Puff Pastry:

  • Thaw puff pastry overnight in refrigerator. You may also thaw on counter for about 35 minutes.
    1 sheet puff pastry
  • Put a piece of parchment paper on sheet pan. Place puff pastry in center, and using a rolling pin, slightly roll out. Use sharp knife to score (do not cut all the way through) about ½ inch around outside
  • Use a fork, and generously poke holes all over the center section.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, turning pan half way through.
  • Pull pastry out of oven, and take the flat part of a fork and smash middle that has puffed up down.

Put Tart together:

  • Brush the center of the pastry with garlic oil. Add goat cheese over the pastry. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
    1 teaspoon Garlic-infused olive oil, 4 oz goat cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Top with tomatoes. Add a few grinds of fresh pepper, and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for a total of 30 minutes, turning half way through. If side crust is getting brown, and tomatoes have not quite cooked, cover lightly with foil.
  • When tart is done, allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.Use parchment to pick up tart, and move to a cutting, and serving board, and slide out the parchment. Use a sharp knife to cut into 4 squares. Garnish with fresh basil.
