A very easy tart to prepare made from ready-made puff pastry, tomatoes and Boursin™ cream cheese.
This French pie can be of any shape and any size, depending on what kind of dough you have on hand. I don’t even make sides so there is less dough and more filling. But this is not for everyone: if you like golden puff pastry, fold 1 centimeter of the edges inward and brush them with egg.

- 1 sheet all butter puff pastry

- 4-5 tomatoes slices
