Servings: 6

Ingredients

Puff pastry
1 sheet, thawed
Tomatoes
2 large, sliced
Cucumbers
1 large, sliced
Red onion
1 small, thinly sliced
Fresh basil
1/4 cup, chopped
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a baking sheet. Transfer the rolled pastry onto the baking sheet.
  3. Prick the pastry all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing during baking. This will help create a nice, even crust.
  4. Layer the sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions on top of the pastry, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the arranged vegetables.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil, along with salt and pepper, over the top to add flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
