Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
Toppings
- 6-8 pieces Gypsy or Genoa Salami, diced
- 6-8 Cherry tomatoes, sliced lengthwise into 3-4 thin slices each
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pastry: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer the pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Add Italian Seasoning: Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning across the surface of the rolled-out pastry, infusing the base with herbaceous flavor.
- Top the Pastry: Dice the salami into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the pastry. Next, arrange the thinly sliced cherry tomatoes on top in an even layer. Finally, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over everything for a savory, cheesy finish.
- Bake the Tart: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Begin checking at 15 minutes to ensure the pastry is turning golden and cooked through without burning. The tart should be crisp and the cheese melted and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into portions. Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute whole Roma tomatoes for cherry tomatoes; only 1 medium Roma tomato would be needed when sliced.
- Feel free to adjust ingredient quantities to suit your taste—add more salami or cheese for a richer tart.
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed sufficiently before rolling for easier handling.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
