Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1/2 inch from the edge of the pastry. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry, staying within the scored border.
  5. Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Use fresh herbs like basil and thyme for added flavor. Pat tomato slices dry to prevent a soggy crust. Customize with additional vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
