Ingredients
- 725g ripe plum tomatoes
- 150g goats cheese
- 20g fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 pkt (400g) puff pastry
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 25ml extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 20g fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Set oven to 180*C.
- Cut tomatoes in half, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, place on baking tray, drizzle with the oil and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Place pastry on a greased baking tray.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully score a line on the pastry, about 1 cm from the edge, all the way around, but be careful not to cut it all the way through.
- Tip the goats’ cheese into a small bowl, add the crushed garlic, chopped thyme and a good seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Give it all a good mixing, and carefully spread the cheese mixture evenly all over the surface of the pastry, right up to the line.
- Arrange the roasted tomatoes on top of the goats’ cheese.
- Scatter the sprigs of thyme all over the tomatoes.
- Place back in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden-brown and the tomatoes have slightly charred edges.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and top with the fresh basil leaves.
