Calories 197kcal
Ingredients
- 1 10-inch sheet frozen puff pastry defrosted
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 to 8 smoked Gruyère cheese slices Regular Gruyère or Swiss cheese will work
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes sliced ¼-inch thick
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- fresh basil leaves to taste, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Prepare a Baking Sheet
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper; set aside.
Salt the Tomatoes
- Slice the tomatoes into ¼-inch thick slices. Lay on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Flip and salt the other side. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, blot the tomatoes with a papertowel.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Unfold the pastry sheet and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is long enough to fit into the baking sheet. Place the pastry sheet onto a baking sheet, pressing and reshaping to fit the pan as close to size as possible.
- Using a knife score a line about 1-inch from the edge around the perimeter. Poke the dough with a fork inside the scored lines. Spread the mustard onto the pastry within 1 inch of the edge. Then top with cheese slices trying to cover the area inside the border the best you can.
Layer The Puff Pastry and Ingredients
- Lay the tomato slices over, mustard covered pastry, overlapping, as needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and sprinkle with thyme leaves.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is crisped and slightly browned on the edges.
Cool, Slice and Enjoy!
- Allow the tart to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Cut the tart into 8 squares and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Can be served hot, warm or at room temperature.
