Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart

I've posted a recipe before for my Tomato Herb and Goat Cheese Tarts so when I came across this recipe I wasn't really sure whether it would be good enough to post. Yes it looked easy but would it be as tasty? I have to say that it was quite tasty and is a great alternative when people get sick of the other goat cheese and tomato tarts.

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard (or if you are like me Trader Joe's Hot and Sweet Mustard)
  • 10 large fresh basil leaves
  • 20 Campari tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 400F. Place puff pastry on a baking sheet and perforate with a fork. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove pastry from oven and let cool.

Brush mustard over entire surface of tart. Lay basil leaves on top and then cover with tomato halves. Crumble goat cheese over tomatoes. Season with pepper if desired and then drizzle with olive oil. Bake for another 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
