Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). Remove the puff pastry from the package and cut into evenly sized squares, large enough to fit a tomato slice. Spread these squares evenly on a baking sheet. Whisk the egg yolk in a cup and brush it onto the squares (e.g., using a rubber pastry brush). Place a tomato slice on each square and season with a little pepper. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, dice the garlic clove and mix with the chopped basil leaves and olive oil. Remove the baked squares from the oven, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and brush with the oil paste. Serve immediately or once cooled.
