With summer in full swing and our tomatoes looking absolutely stunning in the shop, this Tomato & Cheese Pastry is the perfect way to use them! 🍅
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Sliced Tomatoes – Use a mix of heirloom, homegrown, green, yellow, and cherry tomatoes, totaling about 4 tomatoes. (or 3 and a cup of cherry tomatoes)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces of feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1 tbsp water
Nalls is my Everything Seasoning
Thyme, and basil for garnish
Balsamic vinegar glaze – we recommend Laconiko’s Dark Balsamic!
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the filling.
3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to slightly larger than its original size, then transfer to the baking sheet.
4. Use a knife to cut a 1-inch border around the dough, without cutting all the way through. Use a fork to poke holes on the inside rectangle of the dough.
5. Spread the filling on the dough, inside the border.
6. Arrange sliced tomatoes on top of the filling. They can overlap, if needed.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
7. Brush the border with the egg wash, then sprinkle with Nalls is my Everything seasoning.
8. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, thyme, and additional Nalls is my Everything seasoning. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar glaze.
