CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
• Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
• Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.

TOMATO TART WITH GRUYERE CHEESE

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roll out pastry dough on a lightly floured surface so it generously fits in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line tart pan with the dough in such a way that extra dough is sticking out 1/3-inch over the edge of the pan.
• Brush dough lightly with mustard and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. If tomatoes are very juicy, drain some of the liquid. Arrange tomato slices like roof tiles on the cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is solid, about 40 minutes.
