Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the pastry using a knife.
- Make the tomato mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
- Assemble the tart: Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry, staying within the scored border. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped basil over the tart and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Choose ripe tomatoes for a flavorful tart. Prevent a soggy crust by brushing the pastry with a thin layer of Dijon mustard before adding the cheese and tomatoes. Customize your tart with caramelized onions or roasted bell peppers for extra depth of flavor. You can prepare the tart up to a day in advance and reheat it in the oven before serving.
