Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry thawed
  • 2-3 large Heirloom tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme chopped
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly score a 1-inch border around the pastry, being careful not to cut through, then spread Dijon mustard evenly within the scored border.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the mustard, then arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes in an overlapping pattern on top of the cheese.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle fresh thyme before baking for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Serving
  1. Let the tart cool slightly on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.

Notes

To prevent a soggy crust, blot excess moisture from your sliced tomatoes with a paper towel before arranging them on the tart.
