With a dollop of Dijon mustard, this Tomato Tart with Puff Pastry is our “go to” for quick lunches & dinners! Delicious and frightfully easy to put together!
Have you ever returned home from work exhausted and struggled to find the time to relax? Where you rummage through the pantry in defeat and order UberEATS?
We’ve all been there.
After Christmas, the last few months have been particularly chaotic. Work, holidays and catching up with friends has left me feeling deflated. After reviewing the last couple of months, it made me realise that we consume every second of every day. We scroll through Facebook feeds, endless work emails and meetings. In the end, we devour everything but the things that are good for us. A time for meditation, reflection, being creative or preparing a nourishing meal.
It’s in these moments where I need more time to ground myself, that I fall back to this recipe. An easy Tomato Tart with Puff Pastry served with a dollop of French Dijon mustard and fresh basil leaves.
It’s easy to put together and the ingredients are simple to find if not already in the pantry. Minimal prep is required and it’s perfect for almost every meal. An easy to pack lunch, speedy dinner with a light garden salad or picnic with friends. Above all the tart is perfect either warmed or cool. The benefit is that the recipe can easily be adapted with the seasons by using various vegetables. Aubergine, caramelised onion or sliced apples for a sweet variation.

Instructions:

- (Homemade Tomato Paste*) Meanwhile, place the 3 finely minced tomatoes in a medium-sized frying pan with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar. Over a medium heat simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until the water has reduced. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Spread the tomato paste over the defrosted frozen puff pastry. Arrange the tomatoes over the tomato paste and season generously with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are roasted well caramelised.

Although I’m not a big tomato person this looks really good! I would definitely like to try this regardless, I’m a sucker for fresh basil!

Why not mix it up a little and try with another ingredient you do love? Basil and eggplant for example?

Angie says
This looks so fresh and tasty. The tomatoes look so plum and juicy. Where do you get the vegan puff pastry? Do you know if it’s gluten-free by any chance?
Kylie (Author) says
Thanks Angie! Pampas shortcrust and puff pastry sheets are confirmed vegan. It’s definitely not gluten-free as it uses wheat-flour. I have no doubt that you could substitute this for a gluten-free equivalent if you wanted. Happy baking!
Angel says
This looks and sounds tasty! I may have to give it a try sometime!
Kylie (Author) says
Perfect! I would love to hear how it goes Angel!
