Ingredients for Aubergine Tomato And Haloumi Tart

  • Puff Pastry
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Sun Dried Tomato Paste
  • Aubergines
  • 200g sliced tomatoes
  • Halloumi Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Green Olives
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

How to Make Aubergine Tomato And Haloumi Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Roll out one sheet (approx. 25cm x 25cm) of ready-made puff pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score a 2cm border around the edges of the pastry, creating a frame.
  4. Brush the pastry border with a little milk.
  5. Spread 2 tablespoons of tomato paste evenly over the base of the tart, leaving the scored border bare.
  6. Arrange thinly sliced aubergine (approx. 1 medium aubergine, thinly sliced) over the tomato paste.
  7. Top with 200g of sliced tomatoes and 150g of halloumi cheese, sliced.
  8. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 50g of pitted Kalamata olives over the cheese.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the halloumi is slightly golden and softened.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
