Ingredients

1 sheet (400 g) puff pastry , thawed
4 tbsp (60g) cream cheese
1 garlic clove , minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp fresh basil , chopped
1/4 cup (25g) Parmesan cheese , grated
1 cup (100g) Mozzarella cheese , grated
4 medium tomatoes , sliced in about 1/4 inch slices
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F ( 200C).
Cut the tomatoes into 1/4 “ (6 mm) slices and place on paper towels to drain for about 15-20 minutes. Cover with paper towels as well.
In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic, basil and Parmesan cheese.
On a floured surface roll the puff pastry dough into a rectangle of 12×14 inches (30X35cm). Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Prick pastry all over with fork but not up to the edges, as you leave about 1 inch as a border.
Spread the cheese mixture on puff pastry on a thin layer. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Arrange the tomato slices on top.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden, cheese melted and tomatoes cooked.
Sprinkle fresh basil on top and serve warm.
