Golden, flaky, and bursting with rich tomato flavor, savory tomato tarts are a delicious way to showcase tomatoes. Whether you’re using heirlooms, cherry tomatoes, or classic Roma, these tarts pair perfectly with creamy cheese and buttery pastry for an irresistible bite.

Ideal for Easter brunch, a light lunch, or a stunning appetizer, this easy yet elegant dish is a must-try for any tomato lover!

Helpful Tips

Use fresh, firm tomatoes: Opt for smaller, firm tomatoes to avoid excess moisture that could make the pastry soggy.
Change up the cheese: Manchego is delicious here but if you can’t find it or don’t like it choose a harder cheese like aged gouda or parmesan.
Drain excess moisture: Blot the tomato slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before putting them on the tartlets. This will help keep the puff pastry crispy.

Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry partially thawed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup Manchego cheese grated
4 small tomatoes sliced into 24 slices
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut 16 rounds using a 3" cookie cutter or similarly sized glass.
Pierce the dough all around with a fork. Place them on the baking sheets.
With the back of a small spoon, rub the mustard onto each round, then evenly sprinkle on the cheese, top with a tomato slice, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Turn the baking sheets once during cooking to help the pastry brown evenly.
Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.
