Goats Cheese Puff Pastry Tart with Roast Cherry Tomatoes

Goats Cheese Puff Pastry Tart with Roast Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet all butter puff pastry
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 100g soft goats cheese
  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp pesto
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions:

  • Heat the oven to 200C. Toss the cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes until soft and slightly caramelised.
  • Soften the red onion in the remaining oil over a low heat for 8-10 minutes until sweet, then set aside.
  • Using cookie cutters, mark two circles on the puff pastry and cut out the larger circle.
  • Use a fork to prick the pastry inside the smaller circle.
  • Spread the pesto and onions over the bases, crumble over the goats cheese and top with the roast tomatoes.
  • Paint the outside edge of the pastry with beaten egg.
  • Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and the pastry crisp.
  • Serve warm with sliced spring onion.

A crisp Sauvignon Blanc suits this well.
