Tomato Tart

Tomato Tart
Make this fresh tomato and cheese recipe as an appetizer or side dish to serve at summer cookouts. 

Ingredients:
  • 1  17.3 ounce package puff pastry
  • 1   egg
  • 4   ounces Fontina cheese, grated (1 cup)
  • 1 1/2  pounds tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced
  •  Salt and pepper
  •  Thyme sprigs
Directions:
 
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of pastry to 11 by 11 inches. Transfer each to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut a -inch-wide strip from each side. Whisk egg with a tbsp of water and brush on edges of pastry sheets. Line edges with strips forming a border, trimming any overlapping pieces on the corners. Place baking sheets in fridge or freezer, about 15 min.

3. Sprinkle center of each tart with half the cheese and arrange half the tomatoes on top. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Garnish with a few thyme sprigs and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and the pastry is cooked through, about 8 min. Serve warm or at room temperature. 2 tarts, 12 servings
