I know, it's September and people are ready for Fall and all things pumpkin, but... I just can't say goodbye to summer quite yet! It's so beautiful outside and my garden is growing like crazy! I have tomatoes coming out of my ears, so a tomato tart was definitely in order. I promise after this I will transition to all things warm, cozy and fall"y", but this is one last ode to long summer days, and sweet, juicy tomatoes. Besides being delicious, this tart couldn't be any easier - all you need is store bought puff pastry, lots of fresh tomatoes, and a bit of parmesan cheese... so easy! SInce there isn't really a recipe for this one, I took some pictures to illustrate how I put this tart together. You'll have it on the table and impressing your friends in no time. I love to serve this tart as a side, in place of a roll or slice of bread with a yummy fresh dinner! Although its simple, the oven brings out the natural sweetness in the tomatoes, and the crispy puff pastry just melts in your mouth. It's the perfect combination of flavors and textures.

STEP 1: unfold thawed puff pastry on lightly floured sheet tray.

STEP 2: poke pastry with a fork leaving a 1/2in. border, and brush with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil.

STEP 3: lay sliced tomatoes across pastry (if your tomatoes are really juicy you may want to seed them so your crust doesn't get soggy). You can use whatever type of tomato you like, I just used what I had in my garden.

STEP4: sprinkle with a few tablespoons of parmesan cheese, as well as a bit of salt and pepper.

STEP 5: bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving, or else the crispy dough and warm tomatoes will tend to fall apart. Slice into squares and serve!

Enjoy your last bites of summer!
