Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced into thirds
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • ¼ medium red onion finely sliced
  • ½ teaspoon salt separated
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped (+more for garnish)
  • Optional topping: balsamic reduction THIS is the glaze we used

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Then, place the tomatoes, red onion, vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl. Mix and set aside. 
  • Next, lightly dust a flat counter top with flour and lay out the puff pastry sheet onto the flour. 
  • Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the puff pastry to a 9x13-inch thin crust. It does not have to be exact, just close!
  • Transfer the puff pastry to the baking sheet and carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry in 1-inch, creating a crust for the tart. 
  • Then, take a knife and score along the folded edge of the puff pastry, trying not to cut all the way through to the baking sheet. 
  • Take a fork and poke small holes in the center of the tart so that the middle doesn’t puff during the bake time.

  • Place the puff pastry in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. 
  • While the crust is baking mix the cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh thyme into a bowl until creamed and combined. 
  • Remove the crust from the oven and carefully spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of the tart.
