Simple TOMATO TART Recipe / Puff Pastry, Feta, and Basil

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Ricotta is less expensive and still provides creaminess.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried basil

Dried basil is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Grana padano is a less expensive cheese with a similar flavor.

balsamic glaze

🥗Healthier: balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Red wine vinegar is cheaper and adds acidity.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Prepare a baking tray with absorbent paper towel to dry out the tomatoes.

Coat another baking tray with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Prick the puff pastry base with a fork, leaving a rim around the edges.

Slice the mixed tomatoes thinly and place them on the absorbent towel to remove moisture.

Arrange the sliced tomatoes on the puff pastry base.

Brush the rim of the puff pastry with egg wash.

Sprinkle fresh basil over the tomatoes.

Crumble feta cheese on top of the tomatoes.

Sprinkle poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper over the tart.

Drizzle olive oil lightly on top.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Add more fresh basil, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper after baking if desired.
