Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
Toppings
- 6-8 pieces Gypsy or Genoa Salami
- 6-8 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the oven is at the ideal temperature for a crisp and golden tart.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the sheet of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness. Carefully transfer the rolled-out pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Add seasoning: Evenly sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the surface of the puff pastry to infuse it with aromatic herbs and flavor.
- Prepare toppings: Dice the salami into small pieces for even distribution. Slice the cherry tomatoes lengthwise into 3-4 thin slices each, ensuring they cook evenly and add fresh acidity.
- Assemble the tart: Scatter the diced salami over the seasoned pastry, then arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes on top. Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake the tart: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Start checking at 15 minutes to monitor progress; you want the pastry to be golden and crisp and the cheese melted and slightly browned.
Notes
- You can substitute whole roma tomatoes for cherry tomatoes; only 1 roma tomato is needed, sliced thinly.
- Adjust the quantity of salami and cheese to your preference—feel free to indulge with extra toppings.
