Ingredients

  • 8,5 oz Puff Pastry vegan
  • 1 cup basil pesto
  • 18 oz cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C)
  • If you’re making the pesto from scratch, you’ll need to add all the pesto ingredients in a blender jug or food processor and blend until you have a smooth pesto sauce. You can follow our Vegan Pesto recipe.
  • If you're using frozen puff pastry, you'll need to completely thaw the pastry before using it. Roll out the puff pastry and fold the edges to create a crust. Also, I always pierce the pastry with a fork a few times to make sure I don’t get air bubbles while baking the tart.
    8,5 oz Puff Pastry
  • Once the puff pastry is rolled out and the edges folded, you can spread the pesto.
    1 cup basil pesto
  • Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes. If you’re using different types of cherry tomatoes, slice them to a similar size to ensure that they all cook evenly.
    18 oz cherry tomatoes
  • Place the sliced cherry tomatoes on the tart. Make sure they cover the whole surface.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Make sure the pastry is well done, especially in the middle of the tart. You can always set the oven to only bottom heat for the last bit.
  • Leave to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it, and your Cherry Tomato Tart will be ready to serve!
