For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before baking. If you don't have garlic and herb cheese, you can use plain cream cheese and add your own herbs and garlic. Feel free to experiment with different types of tomatoes, such as Roma or heirloom varieties.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
StepUnfold pastry sheet on a lightly-floured work surface. Gently roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a flat 10x10-inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares for the tarts. Using a sharp knife, score a line about 1/2 inch from all edges to create a border on each tart. Be careful to not cut all the way through. Use a fork to generously prick the center of the tarts all over.
03
StepSet tarts onto the baking sheet, and bake for 13 minutes.
04
StepMeanwhile, combine tomato halves, olive oil, parsley, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir until tomatoes are well coated. Set aside.
05
StepRemove prebaked tarts from the oven. If the centers have puffed up, use the bottom of a glass to press down only the centers of the tart. Cut garlic-herb cheese into 4 equal wedges, and spread onto the middle of each tart, leaving the edges clear. Arrange tomatoes cut side up on top of the cheese in a single layer, and brush the tart borders with beaten egg.
06
StepReturn tarts to the oven and bake until tart borders are golden brown, and the tomatoes are lightly roasted, 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with basil. If desired, season again with salt and pepper.
07
StepBest served warm, although serving at room temperature is fine.
