Place the puff pastry on the baking sheet and gently flatten it out, folding up the sides to create a crust.

6

Use a fork to flatten the edges of the pastry and create a pattern.

7

Spread a generous amount of Dijon mustard over the pastry base.

8

Sprinkle plain breadcrumbs over the mustard to absorb tomato juices.

9

Add sliced tomatoes on top of the breadcrumbs, followed by a generous amount of salt and black pepper.
