Caprese Puff Pastry Tart Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Caprese Puff Pastry Tart Recipe). I love caprese salad, but was looking for something a bit more filling for dinner. I pulled some puff pastry out of the freezer and decided to make a savory tart. Roasting the tomatoes first keeps sogginess to a minimum. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if you have them.
