Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the bottom of the pan. Let the sugar melt and caramelize until it turns a light golden brown color. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully arrange the tomato slices in a circular pattern on top of the caramel, ensuring they fit snugly together.
-
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface until it fits the size of your skillet. Carefully place the puff pastry over the tomatoes, tucking in the edges around the tomatoes.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Place a serving platter on top of the skillet and carefully flip it over to release the tomato tart onto the platter. Be cautious, as the skillet and caramel will be hot.
-
Garnish the Tomato Tart Tatin with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
