I absolutely love puff pastry and how versitile it is! I always have a few sheets in my freezer so I can quickly whip up something savory or sweet.

This tomato tart is super easy, quick, a great way to use ripe tomatoes and clean up your cheese drawer, and it's soooo delicious!

Perfect as an appetizer, as part of a brunch or lunch.
