Tomato and basil tart

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 5 tomatoes
  • 130 g double cream cheese
  • 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp oregano, dried
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 roll of (to taste) dough from the refrigerated section
  • 50 g Parmesan, freshly grated

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

for 1 tray

First, cut the tomatoes into 4-5 mm thick slices. To prevent the tart from becoming watery and soggy, place the slices between paper towels for 15 minutes to drain any excess liquid. To make the spicy Mediterranean cream, mix the basil with cream cheese, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. This cream is then spread on the rolled-out puff pastry. Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Grated Parmesan cheese and tomato slices are then added to the cream layer. The tart is then baked for 15-20 minutes at 200°C (top/bottom heat). It tastes just as good warm as it does cold and goes perfectly with a fresh salad.
