Goats Cheese and Tomato Slice

You will Need

1 packet puff or flaky pastry
small packet hard goats cheese
12 or more cherry tomatoes
3 tsp pesto

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle approx 30x45cm.
  3. Cut this into 6 rectangles.
  4. With a sharp knife, score a line 1cm in from each side on each rectangle - this will form the edging crust.
  5. Prick the area inside the scored line to stop it rising.
  6. Put each piece of pastry onto a baking sheet.
  7. Spread the pricked area with a half teaspoon of pesto.  Make sure not to put it on the crust.
  8. Chop the cherry tomatoes into chunks, and the goats cheese into 1cm cubes.
  9. Sprinkle the tomatoes and cheese over the pesto.
  10. Cook for 20 mins or until the cheese is melted and the pastry is a golden brown.

Serve hot with a leafy salad but can equally be eaten cold as part of a picnic.

Optionally, you can create it as one big slice, and cut slices from it when needed.
