Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 tarts

Ingredients

1 sheet (about 1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste, or to taste
1 cup coarsely grated mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes (8 small to medium), sliced thin
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and sliced thin
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out pastry into a rectangle roughly 17 by 15 inches and trim edges to form a 16- by 14-inch rectangle. Halve pastry lengthwise, forming two 16- by 7-inch rectangles.

    Step 3

    Brush edges with water and fold in edges to form a 1/2-inch wide border on each rectangle. With tines of a fork press border to seal. Transfer rectangles to a large baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Divide anchovy paste between rectangle and spread in a very thin, even layer. Sprinkle each tart evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Arrange tomato slices in one layer on cheese. Scatter onion slices and herbs over tomatoes and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 5

    Bake tarts in upper third of oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden. Tarts may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered loosely. Reheat tarts before serving. Serve tarts warm or at room temperature.
