Cherry Tomato and Burrata Tart

Hey friends, I’m back after a well-deserved summer break!

And, as always, I’m bringing you a seasonal recipe… Let’s put tomatoes in the spotlight with my cherry tomato and burrata tart.

In September, tomatoes are at their best! Sun-kissed, incredibly flavorful, an absolute delight. So while I love enjoying them in salads (check out my tomato and pomegranate salad—it’s to die for), I also love cooking them in tarts.

You already have two options on the blog:

• Slow-roasted tomato tart (a surprising tart made with a thyme shortcrust pastry, tomato confit, and beautiful multi-colored fresh tomatoes)
• Cherry tomato tarte Tatin (which you loved on Instagram—the video was viewed nearly 680,000 times!)

Today, I’m offering another take with this cherry tomato and burrata tart, and I’m sure this one will delight your taste buds too! 😉

This recipe should win you over because it remains simple while being very indulgent. You’ll be making a quick puff pastry. If you’re a regular on the blog, you’ve probably already seen my famous recipe that reconciles everyone with homemade puff pastry. Otherwise, this will be the moment you decide, once and for all, to stop buying store-bought puff pastry because this one is so easy and incredibly delicious!

Once the dough is ready, all you have to do is add fresh cheese and cherry tomatoes (you can also use thick slices of vine-ripened tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, or other varieties), bake it all in the oven, and serve with a beautifully creamy burrata… See? It’s super simple. Serve it with a fresh green salad, and you have a delicious vegetarian lunch or dinner.

Essential utensils:

• A 24 cm round mixing bowl
• A spatula
• A rolling pin
• A good paring knife
• A small offset spatula
• A cooling rack
• A 26 cm cake tin (ideally with a removable base)

Alright, I think I’ve told you everything. Ready to give it a go?

The recipe, Chef!
