    Cherry tomato tart slices

    Serves: 8
    Cooking Time: 30 mins

    Ingredients

    • 400g puff pastry
    • 120g basil or coriander pesto
    • 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 10ml (2 tsp) olive/avocado oil
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C.

    2

    Roll out the pastry to a rectangle of about 35cm x 25cm.

    3

    With a knife, make a small indent around the rectangle to create a border of about 1,5cm. You will now have a smaller rectangle within the pastry.

    4

    Spread the pesto evenly over the smaller rectangle. Scatter the tomatoes over the pesto, drizzle with the oil and season.

    5

    Brush the border of the pastry with the egg and bake until the pastry border is golden and the tomatoes soft, about 20 minutes.

    6

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cut into small squares and serve.
