While rummaging through my kitchen to make something for dinner, I came up with this Tomato, Bacon Tart with Blue Cheese & Gruyère. It is kind of like a pizza, except the crust is flaky, buttery, crumbly puff pastry that you can serve as a meal with a green salad or as an appetizer cut into smaller pieces. Also, you can substitute any kind of cheeses and fresh herbs you like.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry (from a 17.3 oz box), thawed

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ cup blue cheese, crumbled

1½ cups Gruyère cheese, shredded

4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

3 small tomatoes, thinly sliced

8 large leaves fresh basil, chiffonade

kosher salt

freshly ground pepper

1 egg

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 10×14-inch rectangle. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Brush the Dijon mustard all over the puff pastry.

3Sprinkle the cheese on the puff pastry, leaving at 2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle on the bacon, then line the tomato slices down over the cheese and bacon. Top with the basil, salt and pepper. Fold the long ends of the pastry slightly over the filling.

4Beat the egg lightly with a splash of water, then brush over the pastry. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
