Tomato Goat Cheese Tart in 40 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the puff pastry and lightly score a 1-inch border around the edge with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. Spread the softened goat cheese evenly inside the scored border using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
4. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes cut-side up across the goat cheese layer.
5. Brush the exposed pastry edges with olive oil and sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the entire tart.
6. Bake on the center rack for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is mahogany-colored and puffed, and the tomatoes have slightly charred at the edges.
7. Remove from the oven and let the tart rest for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
8. Top with fresh torn basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before slicing.
