Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry (about 225 g) frozen, thawed
2 medium heirloom tomato (400 g)
4 ounces Herby Goat Cheese Spread (140 g)
1 large egg (50 g) beaten
1 to 2 teaspoons Everything Bagel Seasoning (3 to 6 g)
Fresh basil (5 g) for garnish
1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (5 to 10 ml) for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the tomatoes. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into ½-inch (1.3 cm) thick rounds. Arrange the slices on paper towels and lightly sprinkle with salt. Let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then gently pat dry. Removing excess moisture helps the puff pastry bake up crisp instead of soggy.
2 medium heirloom tomato
Cut the pastry. Unfold the thawed puff pastry and cut circles approximately 1½ inches (4 cm) larger than each tomato slice.
2 sheets puff pastry
Add the goat cheese. Spread a generous layer of the Herby Goat Cheese Spread onto the center of each pastry round, leaving about a ¾-inch (2 cm) border around the edge.
4 ounces Herby Goat Cheese Spread
Assemble the galettes. Place one tomato slice over the goat cheese. Fold the pastry edges up and over the outside of the tomato, gently pleating as you work to create a rustic galette.
Finish before baking. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
1 large egg, 1 to 2 teaspoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Bake until golden. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed, deeply golden brown, and cooked through.
Garnish and serve. Allow the tartlets to cool for about 5 minutes. Finish with fresh basil and a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Fresh basil, 1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
