Cheese swap: Replace Parmesan with crumbled goat cheese or feta for a creamier, tangier profile.
Add caramelized onions: For extra depth, layer in caramelized onions before placing the puff pastry.
Pesto twist: Spread a thin layer of basil pesto over the tomatoes before adding the pastry for an herby punch.
Gluten-free option: Use a gluten-free puff pastry if needed — the flavor remains just as rich and satisfying.
FAQ
Q: Can I use large tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?
A: You can, but cherry or grape tomatoes offer better texture and caramelize more evenly. If using larger tomatoes, slice them thickly and remove excess moisture before roasting.
Q: What if I don’t have a skillet?
A: Any oven-safe pie dish or cake pan will work. Just make sure it can withstand both roasting and baking.
Q: Is this dish served hot or cold?
A: It’s best served warm or at room temperature, but it can also be enjoyed cold as a rustic tomato tart.
Q: Can I make it vegan?
A: Absolutely! Use a vegan puff pastry and substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or a vegan cheese alternative.
