Herby Goat Cheese and Tomato Tarte

Ingredients:

1 sheet frozen puff pastry

1-2 heirloom tomatoes or 4 large slices

1 cup cherry tomatoes

8 oz goat cheese

2 tbsp chopped basil

2 tbsp chopped thyme

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for topping

Honey for drizzling

Directions:

1. Remove goat cheese from the fridge to allow it to soften.

2. Preheat your oven to 375.

3. Lay out your puff pastry on a cookie sheet, score the edges, and poke holes in the pastry with a fork, without poking the scored edges. Eggwash the pastry and place it in the heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

4. While cooking, make the toppings. Start with the herby goat cheese, placing the goat cheese, herbs, 1 tbsp olive oil, and salt & pepper. Stir until soft and combined.

5. Slice your heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Combine the cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper.

6. When the pastry is out of the oven, smash the center with the back of a spoon, leaving puffed edges. Spread your goat cheese mixture around the pastry, and top with tomatoes, basil, flaky salt, and salt. I also like to drizzle the remaining balsamic from the tomatoes on top of the tarte. Lastly, drizzle honey over the tarte to balance out the acidity from the balsamic. Enjoy!
