Puff Pastry Heirloom Tomato Tart - Food Network Sept 2014

By KDCooks

Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff Pastry (half of 17 oz package, thawed
• All-purpose flour for dusting
• 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• salt & pepper
• 2 TB finely chopped fresh chives
• 12 oz. assorted small heirloom tomatoes, halved

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold the puff pastry onto a floured piece of parchment paper and roll out into a 9-by-11-inch rectangle. Score1/2 inch in from the edge, all the way around, using a paring knife. Slide the pastry (on the parchment) onto a baking sheet. Poke the middle all over with a fork, then bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth; stir in the chives. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Arrange the tomatoes on top; season with salt and pepper and top with more chives.
