Delicious summer tomatoes and fresh corn top this super easy version of the classic tomato tart. Puff pastry replaces the traditional pie crust, while pesto and burrata create a healthier filling. You'll need to thaw the puff pastry first, so factor that into your prep time.
1sheetfrozen puff pastry*thawed according to package directions
1cupbasil pesto(prepared or homemade)
1tablespoonlight mayo or Greek yogurt
1earear raw corn,kernels removed
16-20cherry tomatoes,sliced in half
1ballburrata,sliced thickly
1tablespoonfresh basil,sliced chiffonade
salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry (if folded, place on a sheet of parchment or a silicon mat. Roll out the puff pastry lightly to smooth out the creases, retaining a rectangular shape. Use a fork to poke holes in the dough (called "docking"). Fold up the edges of the puffy pastry one half turn (this will create a frame for the tart ingredients when baked).
Stir together the pesto and the mayo/yogurt, and spread a thin layer evenly over the puff pastry.
Sprinkle the uncooked corn kernels over the pesto. Arrange the burrata slices over the pesto, and add the cherry tomato halves between the burrata.
Sprinkle salt over the tomatoes, and then top the tart with a few grinds of black pepper and the basil strips.
Slide the parchment paper onto a baking sheet, and bake the tomato corn tart for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown with puffy edges. Slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
* puff pastry is often sold 2 sheets per box. Let the sheet thaw before you attempt to unfold it.For a vegan version: replace the burrata with vegan ricotta, or any creamy vegan cheese; replace the mayo/Greek yogurt with vegan substitutes (or skip).
