Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Rlling pin

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-4 tomatoes depending on size. Mine took 4 roma tomatoes.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I like to use the convection setting for this bake, if you have it, use it. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Open up your puff pastry and roll it out a little. I rolled mine until it was about 2 inches bigger on each side than what it started as.
  • Place it on the baking sheet. Mix the ricotta, egg, parmesan cheese, and spices together.
  • Spread over the puff pastry, leaving 1 inch all the way around with the filling.
  • Slice your tomatoes about ¼ inch thick. Place them side-by-side over the ricotta filling. sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Brush the edges of the puff pastry with olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes. The puff pastry should be puffed and a beautiful golden brown color.
  • Remove from oven. I think this is best served while it is still hot, but it is also good cooled.
  • That is it, you are done! Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it.
