Ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry
500g
1 cup feta cheese
230g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp sugar
5g
1 egg
50g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pastry:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to remove any creases. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Prepare the Topping:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped chives, and chopped thyme. Mix well.
2. In another bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with sugar.
3. Assemble the Tart:
1. Evenly spread the feta, chives, and thyme mixture over the puff pastry sheets, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. Arrange the cherry tomato halves on top of the cheese mixture, cut side up.
3. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden crust.
4. Bake:
1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 - 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
2. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of the tart while they are still hot.
5. Serve:
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Pre-bake the puff pastry: To ensure a crispy, non-soggy base, consider pre-baking the puff pastry for about 10 minutes before adding the toppings.

- Use a sharp knife: When cutting the puff pastry, use a sharp knife to ensure clean edges and prevent the pastry from tearing.

- Dry the cherry tomatoes: Pat the cherry tomatoes dry with a paper towel before placing them on the pastry to prevent excess moisture, which might make the pastry soggy.

- Egg wash for golden color: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with an egg wash (1 beaten egg) to give it a beautiful golden color after baking.

- Serve immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the tarte fine immediately after it comes out of the oven.

- Experiment with herbs: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as basil or oregano, to add your own twist to the recipe.

In conclusion, this tart with cherry tomatoes is a simple yet sophisticated dish that showcases the harmonious blend of puff pastry, fresh tomatoes, and savory cheeses. Whether served as a main course or a side dish, it's sure to impress your guests with its vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation.
