- Start by placing your puff pastry at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes, then gently unroll it without cracking the edges.
- For the tofu ricotta, place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread the tofu ricotta across your puff pastry sheet, leaving about 1cm of edge on all sides.
- Place your tomatoes on top and spread them out across the entire sheet.
- Mix the balsamic glaze with the plant milk for your ‘egg’ wash and brush the edges of the pastry sheet, then transfer to a preheated oven at 200C and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry edges are golden and the cherry tomatoes deliciously roasted.
- Sprinkle the tart with toasted pine nuts and generously drizzle with Mr Organic Balsamic Glaze. Enjoy hot or cold.
