Ingredients
10 tomatoes sliced 1cm slices
2 tbsp olive oil
1 dash sea salt flakes
1 dash black pepper
1 roll ready-made puff pastry sheets defrosted
200 grams buffalo mozzarella sliced into 1/2 cm slices
1 egg beaten
fresh basil leaves
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 200°c.
Place the sliced tomatoes on a non-stick baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and place in the oven.
Allow to roast for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and are caramelizing around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Turn the oven down to 180°c.
To make the tart, roll the pastry out a little thinner and place on a baking paper-lined baking sheet. Score around the edges to make a border, ensuring you don't cut through the pastry.
Place the tomatoes and mozzarella on the pastry, alternating between the two.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatoes and mozzarella and season with salt & pepper.
Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
