Tomato-Sausage Tart

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of pre-made puff pastry, thawed
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
• 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing the pastry into the sides and bottom of the pan.
3. Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
4. While the pastry is baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute more.
6. Add the sausage and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes more.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
8. To assemble the tart, spread the sausage and tomato mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tomatoes are softened.
10. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
