Ingredients
- 1 g (8oz) puff pastry ready-made roll
- 4-5 tomato depending on their size
- 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 300 g (10½oz/ 1¼ cups) Emmental cheese grated, or gruyère cheese
- 1 teaspoon thyme or dried (herbes de Provence, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 5-10 olive optional, Niçoise, Nyons or green varieties
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6.
- Roll out the puff pastry and press into a tart pan lined with baking paper. Pierce the pastry with a fork and spread the mustard evenly all over the surface. Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly and discard the seeds. Place on top of the cheese layer and sprinkle with the herbs. Evenly sprinkle over a little fleur de sel salt (Celtic sea salt or Maldon flakes), a few turns of the peppermill and dribble over the olive oil in a zig-zag.Add a few olives, if using, or add on top after baking.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Notes
- Serve immediately with a simple green salad.
- Fresh tomatoes: The larger your tomatoes the better. Best made with the large Coeur de Boeuf French tomatoes (or Marmande), as they have less seeds. However, round tomatoes are great too - just discard the seeds so that no extra liquid leaks into the pastry.
- Puff Pastry: Great with ready-made - either ready-rolled (32cm/12.5oz diameter) or roll out a block of defrosted if frozen.
