Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 piece frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg white
4 medium tomatoes (heirloom in different colors)
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard or 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
sea salt
1 shallot, thinly sliced and slices separated into rings
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about a 12- by 15 rectangle. Place on the prepared pan and flip over a 1/2-inch border, using water to hold down the edges and then crimping with a fork.
  • Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon water, and brush this over the edge of the tart. Prick the inside of the tart in several places with the fork. Par-bake until lightly browned and slightly cooked in the center, 12-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half through the equator, then gently squeeze to remove seeds and excess liquid. Slice into 1/8 to 1/4 inch-thick slices.
  • Spread the prepared crust evenly with the mustard, then layer the tomatoes on top in alternate colors, overlapping them by about 1/2 inch and arranging them tightly within the edges (they will shrink a bit). Season well with sea salt, then top with the shallot rings and thyme.
  • Cook until the tomatoes are softened and the crust is cooked through in the center, 20-25 minutes.
