French-Style Tomato Tart
- 3/4 pound plum/Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese (this is important; the "whipped" kind is soft enough to mix straight out of the fridge)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 sheet (about 8.5 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed (I use Pepperidge Farm)
- 2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
- kosher salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0.
- Slice the tomatoes 1/4" to 1/3" thick, sprinkle lightly with kosher salt, and place on a double layer of paper towels to drain while you prep everything else.
- In a small liquid measuring cup, whisk together the whipped cream cheese, sour cream, and half-and-half until relatively smooth. It's ok if it's a little lumpy. This mixture should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add more half-and-half by the teaspoon until it's liquidy enough to pour.
- Flour your work surface and roll the puff pastry into a 9" x 13" rectangle. Place directly onto a baking sheet.
- Brush the pastry with the Dijon mustard, leaving a 1/2" border. Arrange the tomato slices evenly on top and then pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over the tomatoes. It's not going to completely cover the whole thing; I usually just make a spiral starting in the center. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden.
- Cut with a pizza cutter and serve immediately.
