IRISH TOMATO & PESTO PUFF PASTRY TART

INGREDIENTS

Serves: 8

1 Pack of Simply Better Ready To Roll All Butter Puff Pastry, thawed

3 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Basil Pesto alla Genovese with PDO Genovese Basil

250g Simply Better Irish Tomkin & Tomistar Tomatoes, sliced

125g Cream Cheese

Fresh Basil Leaves, to garnish

Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C Fan (425°F/Gas Mark 7).

2. Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle measuring about 45x30cm/18x12in and about 3mm thick. Lightly score a 1cm border around the edge of the pastry using a sharp knife and transfer to a baking tray.

3. Smear a layer of cream cheese inside the pastry border, then cover the cream cheese with a layer of basil pesto. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top and season with a little salt and pepper before transferring to the oven to bake for about 25-30 minutes until the pastry has puffed up and become golden.

4. Garnish the puff pastry tart with the fresh basil leaves and serve straight to the table.
