Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry sheet thawed {1/2 box}
  • 3 T light mayonnaise
  • 4-5 slices crispy bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ripe tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil pesto
  • optional ingredients:
  • 6 fresh basil leaves for topping
  • romaine lettuce cut into ribbons
  • bleu cheese dressing

Instructions
 

  • Unfold the pastry and gently roll into a larger thinner rectangle on a silpat or parchment paper. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Score the dough about 1/2-1 inch from the edges all the way around. Turn up dough and crimp to form the edge of the tartine.
  • Bake at 400 for 10 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from oven.
  • Spread with a layer of mayonnaise and sprinkle with 1/2 of cheese.
  • Arrange bacon pieces on top of cheese and top with drained tomato slices.
  • Spread a scant amount of pesto over tomatoes. Too much pesto will make this tart too oily.
  • Top with remaining cheese and bake at 400 15-25 more minutes until everything looks golden and melted.
  • Remove from silpat or parchment to cutting board.
  • Top with basil leaves, lettuce and drizzle with a little bleu cheese dressing.
  • Cut into pieces to serve. Makes 2-4 servings
