Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 Red Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 15 Yellow Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 8 oz. Ricotta
  • Salt & Pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the halved tomatoes with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, until slightly softened. Set aside to cool.
  3. Purée the ricotta in a food processor until creamy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry to smooth the fold marks. Cut into about 20 small squares, or use a 2-inch round cutter. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Cover with another sheet of parchment and a second baking sheet to limit puffing. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the upper tray and parchment, then bake for another 2–3 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a serving platter.
  5. Divide the ricotta among the pastry bases. Top each with one red tomato half and one yellow tomato half, cut-side up. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Reserve any extra roasted tomato halves for another use.

Notes

Makes about 20 small tarts; the exact yield depends on the dimensions of the puff pastry sheet. The tomatoes are halved before roasting, and each tart gets one half of each color.
