- Cookie sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Mini Food processor (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 Puff pastry. Either homemade or store bought. You can find my recipe here: https://www.sugarmaplefarmhouse.com/homemade-puff-pastry-recipe/
- 8 oz Ricotta Cheese
- 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped Plus a little extra for your topping.
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
- 5 cloves of whole garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2-3 Heirloom Tomatoes If you can’t find Heirloom, you can use 4-5 Roma tomatoes.
- 3/4 large onion, sliced
- 4 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil, divided Don’t skimp on the extra virgin olive oil. A good, quality olive oil will always elevate your recipe.
- Additional salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: Arugula and balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- While the puff pastry cooks, slice your tomatoes and onions and add them to a cookie sheet. Also add your whole cloves of garlic. Brush all sides with 2 Tbsp. of your olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste
- Once the pastry is done, preheat your oven to 425 and roast the tomatoes, onions and garlic for 20 minutes.
- When done, combine the Ricotta cheese, roasted garlic, 2 Tbsp. of olive oil, basil and the ¼ tsp. of salt and ¼ tsp of pepper in a small food processor. Blend together lightly until the garlic and oil are well combined. You can also do this by hand if you're fine with having chunkier bits of garlic.
- Push down the center of your puff pastry lightly and then spread your Ricotta mix onto the puff pastry. Layer on your tomatoes and onions. If you want to add arugula, add it before layering your tomatoes and onions.
- Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper and extra chopped basil. If you want to add balsamic drizzle it on right before you serve the tart.
Notes
Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. It will add so much to all your recipes, not just this one.
You can substitute 4-5 Roma tomatoes for Heirloom Tomatoes if you can't find them.
If you want to add arugula, add it before layering the tomatoes and onions on.
