Tomato Tart
- Cooking spray or oil
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (see page 5)
- 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
- 5 slices Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces total)
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place it on the prepared pan.
- Spread the mustard over the pastry, leaving a 3/4-inch margin all around the edges, and top with the Swiss cheese.
- Slice the tomatoes 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick, arrange them over the cheese, then sprinkle with the Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Ive always wondered what makes the holes in Swiss cheese, so I decided a little research was in order.
- After reading quite a bit about the process, I will simply say that the holes are made by sizable bubbles of gas produced in the cheese-ripening process.
- Anything more than that falls under way too much informationunless youre studying biochemistry, that is.
