Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Transfer to the lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the cheese on the puff pastry, leaving at 2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle on the bacon, then line the tomato slices down over the cheese and bacon. Top with the thyme leaves, salt and pepper. Fold the long ends of the pastry slightly over the filling, then the short ends, pinching to seal. Cut vents in the pastry.
Beat the egg lightly with a splash of water, then brush over the pastry. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
