#Cherry tart with puff pastry full#

Unless you’ve got air-con in the kitchen (I don’t), making your own pastry or dealing with pastry dough in the sweltering summer heat is a thankless task. I hear the gasps from the back of the room, but hear me out. Make the most of the fresh summer tomatoes – in this dish they really are the star of the show! *DO* use store-bought pastry This tart is all about easy-breezy summer cooking. This simple trick will really enhance their flavour. Take advantage of the season by heading to the markets and buying fresh and colourful tomatoes and herbs that have actually seen the sun.Ĭherry or grape tomatoes are fairly reliable year-round, but if you are baking this Easy Cherry Tomato Tart in the cooler months, I recommend slicing the tomatoes and stirring with a pinch of sugar and sea salt before using arranging them on the tart.

I’m not saying that you can’t make this tart in the dead of winter, but I am saying that it will taste best on a warm night in summer, when you can get your hands on the freshest tomatoes and herbs. Into a hot oven and 25 minutes later you can be snacking on this truly delicious meal. The herby cream cheese filling is quickly mixed and the topping is as simple as slicing some tomatoes. The tart crust is made from stacked puff pastry (no tart pan necessary = less washing up! You see where I’m going with this?) It’s the perfect way to show off those juicy summer tomatoes. This is such a showy-looking tart, but the fact is that it is super simple to put together. Letting the oven do all the work is so much better than dealing with steamy pots and oil-filled pans when you’re already overheated! This beautiful tart is so quick to prepare In summer I make lots of meals that can be thrown into the oven and then left alone, while I escape the heat in the kitchen (you’ll usually find me on the balcony with a cool glass of wine). It might seem counter-intuitive to roast things in the oven during the summer months, but I love cooking with the oven when it is hot outside.
