   • Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices and spread them on a parchment paper-lined, rimmed baking sheet.
   • Brush the tomato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle them with salt.

2. Bake the Tomatoes:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven until slightly shriveled, about 45 minutes.
   • Let the tomatoes cool. (You can make these ahead by covering and refrigerating them on the tray for up to 24 hours.)

3. Prepare the Pastry:

   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to 1 inch larger than a 14 x 4-inch rectangular or 9-inch round tart pan.
   • Press the pastry into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.

4. Layer the Tart:

   • Brush the bottom of the pastry with Dijon mustard and spread grated cheese (if using).
   • Cover the pastry with the baked tomato slices and tuck minced garlic among the slices.

5. Season and Bake:

   • Sprinkle the tart with chopped basil, parsley, and pepper.
   • Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
   • Bake the tart in the bottom third of a 400°F (200°C) oven until the pastry is golden, about 30 minutes.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish the tart with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
   • Note: If you prefer a cheese-less option, the tart is equally wonderful without it.
