Tomato Tarts
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
- Flour, for rolling
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 1/2 cup grated white Cheddar
- 4 or 5 Italian plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- Salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped fine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and allow it to thaw for 20 minutes.
- Unfold the pastry on the counter and roll down, using enough flour to prevent sticking.
- Brush the dough with olive oil and, using a 1 1/2- or 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough.
- Place the puff pastry rounds on the prepared baking sheet and poke the surface of the pastry with a fork.
- Top each round with a small amount of the Cheddar, then with a tomato slice.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the tomato, and then sprinkle on a pinch of thyme and about 1 teaspoon of Parmesan.
- Bake for about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
