Savory Tomato Tart with Herbes de Provence

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Tomato Tart with Herbes de Provence.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   On a baking sheet lined with silicone, lay out two pieces of puff pastry.

3. Step 3

   Overlap the short seam of one piece onto the other to create a sturdy rectangular base.

4. Step 4

   Trim the seams from the remaining two pieces and press them into the edges of your base to form a delightful border.

5. Step 5

   Pop the assembled dough into the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.

6. Step 6

   With a sharp knife, gently score the border with shallow cuts spaced about 1/4-inch apart, then use a fork to poke holes all over the base, steering clear of the border.

7. Step 7

   Bake the tart shell in your preheated oven for roughly 10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden and starting to puff.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, carefully press down on the base with a fork, avoiding the border, and let it cool for 10 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Spread a layer of Dijon mustard evenly across the inside of the tart shell.

10. Step 10

    Neatly arrange tomato slices in a single layer on top, cutting some in half to fill any gaps.

11. Step 11

    Season with salt and pepper, then generously sprinkle herbes de Provence over the tomatoes.

12. Step 12

    Add a shower of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.

13. Step 13

    Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully browned and crispy.

14. Step 14

    Allow it to cool to room temperature on the baking sheet, or transfer it to a wire rack using two spatulas.

15. Step 15

    Finish by drizzling the remaining olive oil over the tart and garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy this savory masterpiece that’s sure to impress at any gathering!.
