- Pastry
- 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) ice water, plus more if needed
- Filling
- 2 cups (300 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 5 oz (140 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Finish
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt for the pastry. Add cold butter and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually, mixing until dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
- 2.
- While dough chills, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 3.
- In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano (or thyme), and minced garlic.
- 4.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry to a rough 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- 5.
- Sprinkle half the feta over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border. Top with cherry tomato mixture and sprinkle with remaining feta and chopped basil.
- 6.
- Fold the pastry edges up and over the filling, pleating as you go to form a rustic edge (the center will be exposed). Brush pastry with beaten egg.
- 7.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and tomatoes are roasted. Let cool for a few minutes.
- 8.
- Garnish with more fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Chilling the dough is crucial to achieve a flaky crust, so don't rush this step. Use a light hand when folding the pastry edges to keep the rustic charm intact. Fresh herbs make a noticeable difference, so use fresh basil and oregano or thyme whenever possible.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For extra flavor, try adding sliced olives or sautéed onions into the filling. If feta isn’t your favorite, substitute it with ricotta or goat cheese for a milder or tangier profile.
