Tomato Upside Down Puff Pastry Tarts
These tomato upside-down puff pastry tarts are a simple take on a viral recipe that’s been trending online. Combining roasted cherry tomatoes with Gruyère cheese in a crispy puff pastry shell, they make for a quick and easy appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- flaky salt
- cracked black pepper
- fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degree F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to 1/6 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out 6 circles from the dough.
- Cut the rounded end off each cherry tomato, then slice them in half crosswise.
- Drizzle a little olive oil on the prepared baking sheet in a 4-inch circle (you can place the cutter on the tray as a guide). Sprinkle with flaky salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh thyme. Repeat this process to create six circles.
- Arrange the tomato halves cut-side down within the seasoned circle, placing one in the center and six around it to create a flower shape.
- Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the arranged tomatoes.
- Place a puff pastry circle over the tomatoes and cheese. Gently press out any excess air, then use a fork to crimp the edges of the dough and seal it.
- Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Let the tarts cool for a few minutes before carefully flipping them onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- These tarts are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, where the puff pastry is at its crispiest. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 300 degree F air fryer for 3-5 minutes or a 300 degree F oven for 10 minutes to restore their crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it will leave the pastry soggy.
