Here’s what you’ll need:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 | Frozen puff pastry |
2 | Water |
2 | Tomatoes |
2 | Extra virgin olive oil |
4 | Sugar |
1/2 | Fresh ground black pepper |

Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Using a salad-size plate as a guide, cut each sheet into an 8-inch circle.
- Transfer the pastry circles to an ungreased baking sheet.
-
Assembling the Tart:
- Prick the pastry circles all over with a fork.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, corn oil, and water.
- Lightly brush this mixture over the pastry circles, leaving a 1/2-inch edge.
-
Arranging the Tomatoes:
- Now, it’s time to work those tomatoes! ๐
- Arrange the tomato slices in concentric circles on top of the pastry.
- Ensure to leave that 1/2-inch edge for a beautifully crispy crust.
-
Baking the Tart:
- Drizzle the tarts evenly with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Sprinkle the sugar and fresh ground black pepper over the tomatoes.
- Pop the tarts into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
- Keep an eye on them; you want the tarts to be golden and the tomatoes to caramelize.
-
Finishing Touches:
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes.
- This adds a delightful savory kick that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes.
-
Serving:

-
Get Creative: Feel free to add your own twist! Try different cheeses, herbs, or even a balsamic drizzle for extra pizzazz.
