Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Unfold the defrosted puff pastry onto a floured piece of parchment paper and roll out into a 9-by-11-inch rectangle.

Score 1/2 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 area all over with a fork.

Sprinkle crumbled feta in the middle area and arrange sliced tomatoes.

Drizzle with olive oil, thyme, kosher salt & pepper.
Tip: Brush the 1/2 inch edge with an egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water, beaten) to make the edges a lovely golden brown.

Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
