# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
02 -
3 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced
03 -
4.2 ounces herbed cream cheese (such as Boursin or homemade)
04 -
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
05 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
07 -
1 large egg, beaten
08 -
Salt, to taste
09 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to eliminate seams and ensure an even layer. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
03 -
Spread the herbed cream cheese evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
04 -
Arrange the tomato slices in a single, even layer over the cheese. Sprinkle with chopped basil, chives, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle evenly with olive oil.
05 -
Fold the edges of the pastry inward to form a border. Brush the border with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
06 -
Bake in the oven for 22 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp. Allow to cool slightly on a rack before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For optimal flavor, choose fully ripe and firm tomatoes. Excess liquid from tomatoes can be dabbed with a paper towel prior to assembly to prevent soggy pastry.
