A light and elegant savory tart made with flaky puff pastry, ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, feta, and fresh basil. This easy yet impressive dish is finished with olive oil or balsamic drizzle for a perfect balance of richness and freshness.

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

4 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds

1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic reduction (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Freshly cracked black pepper, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry to fit your baking sheet, smoothing any creases. Lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges without cutting all the way through.
  3. Brush the border with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
  4. Inside the border, sprinkle mozzarella evenly as the base layer.
  5. Arrange tomato slices in slightly overlapping rows, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Scatter crumbled feta and torn basil leaves over the top.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly, drizzle with balsamic reduction (if using), garnish with more basil and cracked pepper, then slice and serve.

Notes

Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.

Add caramelized onions under the cheese for more depth.

Swap tomatoes for roasted red peppers or zucchini slices for variation.

Brush milk instead of egg wash for a glossy, egg-free option.

Serve warm or at room temperature — perfect for brunch or picnics.
