5 from 4 reviews

This quick and savory GF Tomato and Brie Tart is made with store bought gluten-free puff pastry and topped with heirloom tomatoes and herbed brie cheese. This tart is such a classic pairing. Heirloom tomatoes goes so well with brie cheese. This tart is perfect for picnics or summer lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Frozen Pastry Dough-make sure it is Gluten Free and not pre-cooked
  • 1 1/2 Heirloom Tomatoes or Vine Ripened Tomatoes
  • 3/4 Pound to 1 Pound Herbed Brie Cheese
  • Thyme
  • Mustard
  • 1 Egg
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Trim off the ends of the heirloom tomatoes and slice about 1/8 inch thick. 
  • Remove the puff pastry from the packaging. If using Schar puff pastry, it has to defrost for 3 hours before using.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the Schar puff pastry- it does need to be kept in the freezer. I thawed mine for 3 Hours before using. The Schar package comes with two rolled gluten-free puff pastries. I only used 1.
  • Unfold the puff pastry onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Using your fingertips, gently pinch the seams closed.
  • Use a knife to score about 1/2 border all the way around. This does not have to perfect. I like it to look more rustic.
  • To make sure your puff pastry doesn’t puff up when cooking-pierce all over with a fork.
  • Spread a thin layer of 2 teaspoon mustard all over the dough.
  • I dried my tomatoes off with a paper towel before assembling.
  • Arrange the tomatoes on top and season with salt and pepper.
  • Use 4 sprigs of fresh Thyme to sprinkle on the top before putting into the oven.
  • Cut small pieces of the herbed brie cheese and scatter them over the tops of the tomatoes.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, and half-way through whisk up one egg and brush the crust with the egg wash. Bake until the crust is puffed and golden and the cheese has thoroughly melted.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • This recipe can take anywhere from 20-25 Minutes.  
  • Dust the crust with the egg wash half way through baking to help the tart get nice and golden in color.
  • Let this cool down for at least 15 minutes before serving.
