Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 4 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 2-3 heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated pecorino cheese
  • salt and pepper , to taste

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F / 220C / 200C Fan. Let your puff pastry roll sit out at room temperature while the oven is preheating.
  2. Slice your tomatoes into thin slices, then place them sandwiched between paper towels, gently pressing down to draw out some of the liquid.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry onto a large metal baking tray / sheet pan (keeping the parchment paper it's rolled in at the bottom).
    Poke several holes in the pastry with a fork, then dollop with small spoonfuls of pesto (don't spread it - we want to leave some gaps for the pastry to breathe a little, or it will struggle to cook through.)
  4. Arrange the tomatoes over the top of the pastry. Carefully drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked through and the tomatoes are starting to look roasted.
  6. Remove from the oven. Drizzle a little extra pesto on top, scatter with grated pecorino cheese and serve immediately.
