Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer the thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the ricotta mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme and basil.
  5. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Pat tomato slices dry to prevent a soggy crust. For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta before adding the tomatoes. The tart can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before baking.
