This easy, Mini Tomato Tart recipe brings out the flavor of fresh tomatoes by roasting them on top of puff pastry with Gruyere cheese. Two-bite snacks perfect to go alongside salad, soup, or serve on a party table.
Thaw the frozen puff pastry. On a floured surface roll each sheet to 1/16 inch thick. Prick sheets generously with a fork and cut into about 30 various-sized circles with biscuit cutters.
Place circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each circle with 1 teaspoon grated Gruyère cheese and one or two thin tomato slices, or halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with kosher salt, pepper and chopped thyme.
Bake at 400°F until golden, 20 to 25 min. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
• Use any variety of tomato for these tarts; heirloom, hothouse or garden grown are great.
