    Tomato Puff Pastry Tart

    Jump to Recipe

    My tomato puff pastry tart takes the best of the summer’s tomatoes, and makes them the star of the show. Great for a light meal.

    Easy Tomato Puff Pastry Tart

    Oh these heady days of summer when even turning on the oven seems like too much trouble.

    I do wish these days would stay a bit longer with us before they fade away.

    When heavy food is the last thing on your mind, a quick and easy baked puff pastry tart is one of my go-to recipes.

    I paired my multi-coloured tomatoes with a tasty tomato chutney as a base, which gives a lovely depth of flavour.

    Add these to a light puff pastry sheet and you have a dish which looks fabulous and tastes great.

    Enjoy the tomato tart for lunch or a light meal with salads, and why not add a cold glass of wine on the side.

    Simple

    For a simple lunch which is quick to prepare, this tomato tart is perfect. From a few store-cupboard and refrigerated ingredients you can prepare this tart in minutes and enjoy a special lunch.

    Rainbow of colours

    Don’t the colours just scream summer to you.

    Plum tomatoes are my favourite kind of tomatoes, and this mix of red, orange and yellow baby tomatoes I picked up in the supermarket was full of them.

    You can use just red cherry tomatoes instead, if you don’t have any coloured tomatoes.

    Add on some fresh basil to serve for extra flavour. A salad on the side drizzled with balsamic dressing would set this dish off perfectly.

    For lunch or picnics

    Ideal for entertaining this summer, or just to brighten up your lunchbox, my tomato puff pastry tart would also be great to take on a picnic.

    The rich deep flavour of the tomato chutney accentuates the sweetness of the tomatoes, which increases as they bake gently during cooking.

    They say it is good for you to eat the rainbow, and heirloom tomatoes in all colours would go so well in this tart.

    What a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

    Easy Tomato Puff Pastry Tart

    Ingredients

    Here are what you will need (get the quantities in the recipe card):

    • a sheet of ready rolled puff pastry – I used the light version but the standard, full fat version works just as well if you prefer
    • tomato chutney – I use a Mediterranean tomato chutney, you could use caramelised onion chutney to change the flavour up a bit too
    • baby tomatoes – I use a mixture of colours if available, or just standard cherry or baby plum tomatoes
    • olive oil – to brush around the edges of the pastry to ensure it goes golden
    • basil leaves – to serve
    • salt and pepper – to season to your taste

    Step by step

    1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C (fan oven).
    2. Unroll the pastry and cut to square or leave as a rectangle, as you prefer.
    3. Spread the tomato chutney over the pastry, leaving a border at the edges.
    4. Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange on top, cut side up looks good.
    5. Season with salt and pepper then brush the olive oil around the edges of the pastry.
    6. Bake for 20 minutes or until crisp and golden.
    7. Garnish with a few basil leaves and serve.

      Oh my, this looks lush. The tomato chutney is a nice touch to add extra acidity and sweetness to the puff pastry.

      This looks absolutely delicious! The tomato chutney sounds like a great idea to add lots of flavour. I’d usually put pesto on a tomato tart, but the chutney sounds like it would be a healthier choice!

      Diet friendly pastry sounds good to me! Although I’d probably want to add cheese… The heirloom tomatoes are so pretty.

        Yes there is no cheese here I’m afraid, the tomatoes have the starring role! 😉 bit of Parmesan on top perhaps!

      Ooh this sounds tasty – great idea to use tomato chutney for a rich flavour. I’m so surprised this is Weight Watchers friendly – I’ve always thought pastry was really high in calories, I must try to find the light stuff!
