Ingredients
Tart
- 1 pack puff pastry ready rolled is easier
- 2 tbsp tomato purree
- 2 - 3 tbsp green pesto
- 150 g mature cheddar cheese grated
- 25 g parmesan cheese
- 150 g cherry tomatoes halved
Homemade Pesto
- 3 handfuls basil leaves
- 1 handful pine nuts
- 1 handful of grated parmesan cheese
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan and line a large baking tray with parchment paper
- Unroll the pastry sheet onto the baking tray and lie it down flat leaving an inch gap around the edge
- Spread the tomato puree onto the pastry sheet as evenly as possible
- If you're making your own pesto, simple blitz the basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese in a food processor until fine
- Pour in a few tablespoons of oil to get the consistency you want - I keep mine quite stiff!
- Flavour with salt and pepper as you please
- Dollop on the pesto, and sprinkle over the grated cheddar and parmesan
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and golden
- ENJOY!
Notes
- You can easily leave out the tomato puree, but I loved the added tomato flavour!
- You can also use other vegetables or your favourite things for example - I add in olives for my family as they love them.
- This is best served fresh and straight out of the oven, but will keep covered in the fridge over night!
