Spinach Goat's Cheese and Tomato Tart



A quick and easy to make tart which, with a salad, is great for lunch or dinner.  It's also good cold as part of a picnic.

Ingredients

1 pack ready rolled puff pastry
4 large tomatoes, sliced or 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
25g fresh spinach leaves
2 small round soft goat's cheese, cut into thin slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pre-heat the oven to 190C / 375F / gas5

Place the pastry on a baking tray and score a line all the way round 1cm from the edge but try not to cut through the pastry.

Put the thin slices from1 of the cheeses over the base of the pastry and sprinkle on the thyme leaves.

Layer the spinach leaves over the cheese, drizzle over a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Next put the sliced or halved tomatoes over the spinach and top with the rest of the goat's cheese slices.  Drizzle some olive oil over the top and place on the middle shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through in the middle (test with a knife)
