This tomato tart looks fancy and tastes divine, but the best part about the recipe is that it doesn’t take much effort at all. I love the idea of tarts because they are so versatile and the fewer the toppings, the more elegant they appear. The possible adaptations are endless- you really only need a good cheese and a couple of veggies. How about some chevre with caramelized onions or blue cheese and apples?
Bake this tomato tart on the weekend for Mother’s Day and pair it with a crunchy salad and a refreshing white wine. A perfect way to treat your mom on this Sunday afternoon.
Tomato and Boursin Tart for Mother's Day
Ingredients
- One roll frozen puff pastry, thawed in fridge overnight or at room temperature for an hour
- Three ripe tomatoes
- Half package of Boursin cheese, about 75g
- Six olives, sliced
- One teaspoon butter, melted
- Pepper
- One egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C) degrees. Unroll puff pastry and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- With a small sharp knife, lightly mark the pastry about 1 cm from the edges to create a border. Don't cut all the way through the pastry, this is just to score an edge for the beautiful golden crust to come. Brush the entire pastry with butter.
- With your sharpest knife, slice tomatoes as thinly as possible. Arrange them in overlapping rows on top of puff pastry, staying within the scored edge.
- Crumble Boursin evenly over tart and then sprinkle the sliced olives. Season liberally with freshly ground black pepper.
- Brush the edges with egg. Bake tart for 25 minutes until edges are golden.
