Cherry Tomato Tart with Burrata

This savory cherry tomato tart is made with just a few simple ingredients but delivers incredible flavour. Cherry tomatoes, puff pastry, burrata, and balsamic glaze come together to create a crispy, caramelized tart with a creamy finish.

The tomatoes are roasted under a layer of puff pastry, allowing them to soften and develop a rich, sweet flavour. Once flipped, the golden crust becomes the base for the juicy, caramelized tomatoes. Topped with creamy burrata and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, this tart is a quick and delicious appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients:
For 2 small tarts

• Puff pastry

• 100g cherry tomatoes

• 50g burrata

• Balsamic glaze

• Olive oil

• Salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

2. Prepare the Tomatoes:

   • Halve the 100g cherry tomatoes.

3. Shape the Pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry and use a bowl to cut out two circles for the tarts.

4. Assemble the Tart Base:

   • Drizzle olive oil onto a baking sheet in two circles, the same size as the tarts.

   • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the oil.

   • Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, in a circular pattern on the olive oil, leaving space for the rim.

   • Drizzle the tomatoes with balsamic glaze.

5. Add the Pastry:

   • Place the puff pastry circles over the tomatoes.

   • Press down the edges and use a fork to seal the sides.

   • Poke a few holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

   • Brush the top with olive oil.

6. Bake the Tarts:

   • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

7. Flip & Serve:

   • Carefully turn the tarts over and remove the baking paper.

   • Top each tart with 25g of burrata.

   • Drizzle with more balsamic glaze before serving.

   Enjoy!
