Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 Heirloom Tomatoes Little tomatoes work well also
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1-2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Herbs de Provence
  • 1 tbsp Basil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 Puff Pastry Dough
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Thaw out puff pastry dough. Frozen dough needs to be thawed in the fridge overnight.
  2. Slice tomatoes and place the slices in a baking dish and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and Pepper the tomatoes. Add garlic powder and minced garlic. Add Thyme, Oregano and Herbs de Provence. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for about 20 minutes.

  3. Roll out the puff pastry dough into a large rectangle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough on top of the parchment paper.

  4. When the tomatoes are done, spread the tomatoes out on top of the puff pastry dough. Top with sprinkle of mozzarella cheese (don't go too crazy adding cheese as the pastry won't cook well in the center from the cheese), and sprinkle more garlic powder or Italian seasonings as desired.

  5. Bake for 20-35 minutes until the pastry is completely cooked through and lightly browned around the edges. Check to make sure the center is cooked. Allow the cheese to brown a bit. When done, remove from oven, allow to cool. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.
