This tomato tart takes advantage of the kaleidescope of cherry tomatoes falling in our gardens and showcased in the market. Its ease of preparation is due, in part, to the usage of store-bought frozen puff pastry dough. I confess that as much as I try to homemake everything, homemade puff pastry (unless made well ahead of time and frozen) doesn't conveniently figure into a spontaneous weeknight meal. Fortunately, high quality frozen pastry dough is available in many stores. I buy mine at Whole Foods, and while the price is not cheap, I see it as a break-even when considering the cost of the ingredients and time I would need to make it myself. However, if you do have time on your side (lucky you!) and would like to make your own pastry, one of my go-to recipes for quick puff pastry is from Rose Levy Beranbaum's Pie and Pastry Bible. Choose a variety of cherry tomatoes for a colorful tart.
