Tomato Tart Puff

Tomato Tart


This puff pastry tart is a great idea alternative to home made pizza... making tonight's tea or tomorrows party finger foods both simple to make and tasty to boot.
Depending how many you are feeding will decide how big the pastry sheets that suit... for single serves cut a pastry sheet into four, for two people cut a sheet in half into a rectangle (as pictured), for bite size finger food use a large cookie cutter...

  • Which ever size you require you will need two of each with the centre cut out of the second one. Egg wash the two together which gives you a frame/crust around the edge which is double thickness, egg wash the top of the frame also.
  • Mix together enough of a soft cheese such as spreadable Ricotta mixed with some Dijon mustard for flavour and spread this onto the base working inside of the frame.
  • Add slices of thickly cut tomato onto the top of the cheese, still within the frame.
  • Finally add some chopped olives and anchovies,a light sprinkle of some grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of salt and pepper or lemon pepper.
  • Bake in a 180 oven until golden and crunchy... the baking time will vary depending on the size so you will need to watch them closely to avoid burning.
