black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

Green olives are often less expensive and still provide a briny flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option that adds umami flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into small circles and place them in a greased tartlet tin.

Prick the bases with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Bake the pastry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

While the pastry bakes, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 15-20 minutes until blistered.

In a food processor, combine black olives, garlic, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

Blend until smooth to create the tapenade.

In a bowl, whisk together egg, cream, lemon zest, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.

Remove the pastry from the oven and let cool slightly.

Spread a layer of tapenade in each tartlet shell.

Top with roasted cherry tomatoes and pour the egg mixture over them.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the filling is set.
