Jump to Recipe

A sheet of store bought puff pastry, a creamy goat cheese that I whipped in my food processor with a little olive oil, plus freshly picked heirloom tomatoes and herbs.

Seriously, the easiest tomato tart recipe you will ever make!

I beg to argue it s also the best, but hey I might be a little partial so don’t take my word for it, make it yourself.

You could even make individual, mini tiny tarts as appetizers if you prefer, or just cut it into bite size pieces for fabulous entertaining!

Ingredients

  • 14 oz puff pastry

  • 1/3 cup chives snipped
  • 1/3 c basil leaves + blossoms

Instructions

  • Thaw out the puff pastry according to the directions on the package.
  • Preheat your own to 400”F
  • To the bowl of a mini food processor add the goat cheese together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of sea sat. Process until fluffy.
  • Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a bowl and fold in the chives, reserving some for garnish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

  • Spread the chive and whipped goat cheese mixture on top of the cooled puff pastry.
  • Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thin slices and place them on top pf the goat cheese.
  • Sprinkle with the reserved chives and fresh basil.
  • Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a nice pinch of coarse sea salt over the tomatoes.
  • Slice your tomato tart into squares and enjoy!
