A flaky puff pastry tart topped with roasted heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese, perfect for summer entertaining and easy to prepare in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • About 3 cups sliced heirloom tomatoes (a mix of colors)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 10×12 inches. Transfer to baking sheet or tart pan. Score a 1-inch border around edges without cutting through.
  3. Brush the inside of the scored border evenly with Dijon mustard using a pastry brush.
  4. In a bowl, toss sliced heirloom tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Spread on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Roast tomatoes for 10-12 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized but still holding shape.
  6. Arrange roasted tomatoes on puff pastry base inside the scored border, leaving space for crisping.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter evenly over the tomatoes.
  8. Bake tart for 20-25 minutes until puff pastry is golden and puffed, and cheese starts to melt.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold before rolling to ensure even puffing. Score the pastry border without cutting through to create a raised crust. Roast tomatoes separately to avoid soggy crust. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. Use a sharp knife for even tomato slices. Optionally sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on mustard layer to absorb moisture.
