A quick and easy tart featuring flaky puff pastry topped with roasted heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese, perfect for entertaining or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and torn into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn (for garnish)
  • Flaky sea salt (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out thawed puff pastry to about 12×12 inches. Transfer to baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around edges without cutting through.
  3. Prick the inner pastry with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Brush entire surface, including border, with beaten egg.
  4. In a bowl, toss heirloom tomato slices with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, pepper, thyme, and balsamic vinegar if using. Spread evenly on a separate lined baking sheet.
  5. Roast tomatoes in oven for 15 minutes until softened but not falling apart.
  6. Blind bake the puff pastry shell for 12-15 minutes until border is puffed and golden but center is still pale.
  7. Remove tart from oven. Spread torn burrata evenly over the inner pastry. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top.
  8. Arrange roasted tomatoes over the cheese layer.
  9. Return tart to oven for 8-10 minutes to warm cheese and finish crisping crust.
  10. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil and flaky sea salt. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Roasting the tomatoes beforehand reduces moisture and prevents soggy pastry. Docking the pastry center stops excessive puffing. Use a sharp knife to slice the tart to avoid squashing the flaky crust. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or vegan cheese alternatives.
