Tomato Tart-Glamour Mag

I found this quick and easy recipe in glamour magazine.
I was not sure how it would taste because the cook time is 35-45 minutes and I was thinking tomatoes in the oven that long......really?
To my surprise it was sooooo good. I will definitely serve this as an appetizer for an up coming dinner.
Here yeah go.....
1 puff pastry sheet-thawed
Tomatoes(I used 2 large and one small)....I used tomato from my garden...yum!
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Thyme(Fresh)
Parchment Paper
Cookie Sheet

• Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper
• Put the thawed puffed pastry sheet on the parchment paper
• Put the tomatoes on the puffed pastry sheet in rows. Do not over lap the tomatoes as this could make it soggy.
• Pull leaves from the thyme twigs and toss them over the tomatoes
• Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes
• Lightly sprinkle the black pepper over the tomatoes
• Cook on 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until edges are golden brown
• Sprinkle the sea salt over after it's cooked
