Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet and trim edges with a knife to create a clean rectangle.
  2. Step 2: Brush pastry surface with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle 1/2 tsp sea salt evenly across the surface.
  3. Step 3: Slice Roma tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and arrange in overlapping circles over the pastry, leaving 1 inch border around edges.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over tomatoes, scatter minced garlic and thyme evenly, then season with black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Bake 25-28 minutes until pastry is golden brown and tomatoes are tender with slightly caramelized edges.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano immediately after removing from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
