HEIRLOOM CHERRY TOMATO TARTE TATIN WITH BUFFALO MOZZARELLA
This Heirloom Cherry Tomato Tarte Tatin is as beautiful as it is delicious! The vibrant colors of heirloom tomatoes, golden-brown pastry, and creamy white mozzarella make it a stunning dish. Flavors are equally impressive, with sweetness, acidity, and a delicate herbal freshness.
2sheets all-butter frozen puff pastry thawed (I used homemade rough puff pastry)
1/4cupbrown sugar
1.4ozunsalted butter, chopped
21ozheirloom cherry tomatoes
1tbspwhite wine vinegar, I used balsamic vinegar
17 oz buffalo mozzarella (you can use cow's milk mozzarella instead)
1/4cupfresh oregano leaves
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 240°C (475°F).
Cut out an 18cm (7 inch) circle from each pastry sheet and cut 3 small slits in the middle of each. Refrigerate until needed.
Place 2 x 16cm (6 inch) non-stick ovenproof frying pans over moderately high heat. Divide the sugar and butter between the pans and cook, stirring occasionally. Cook for 2 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and caramelised.
Divide whole tomatoes between the pans and cook for 4 minutes, gently shaking the pans.
Top the tomatoes with the pastry circles and place in the oven to cook for 12 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and set aside for 2 minutes to cool.
Carefully turn out onto plates and top each with the vinegar, mozzarella, oregano, salt, pepper and oil to serve.
