Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out 1 sheet thawed puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edges without cutting through.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly inside the scored border on the pastry.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 3 medium Roma tomato slices in a single layer inside the border. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Manchego cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
  4. Step 4: Brush the 1 beaten egg along the exposed pastry edges to create a golden crust.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
