Rustic Tomato Tarte Tatin Recipe | Savory Puff Pastry Tomato Tart

מצרכים

• 900 grams ripe heirloom tomatoes (mixed sizes and colors)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 6 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 sheet all-butter puff pastry (rolled to fit skillet)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional, for serving)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• STEPS
• Prep the tomatoes: Slice larger heirloom tomatoes in half and leave the smaller ones whole. Place them cut-side down on paper towels for 15–20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
• Preheat the oven: Preheat to 200°C (400°F).
• Make the caramel: In an oven-safe cast-iron skillet, melt butter and granulated sugar over medium heat until a deep amber caramel forms, about 5–7 minutes.
• Add balsamic and garlic: Remove from the heat and stir in balsamic vinegar, then scatter the thinly sliced garlic evenly over the caramel.
• Arrange the tomatoes: Place the drained tomatoes cut-side down in a tight pattern. Tuck the fresh thyme sprigs between the tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper.
• Add the pastry: Lay the puff pastry over the tomatoes, tucking the edges into the skillet. Brush with the beaten egg.
• Bake: Bake until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and deeply golden brown.
• Rest and flip: Allow the tarte to cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto
