Ingredients

1 x 320g ready rolled puff pastry
2 tablespoons tomato jam, relish or chutney

Directions

Step 1	Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line and/or grease a large pizza tray or baking tray.
Step 2	Cut the ready rolled pastry into a large round to fit the tray, if it is square or rectangular. Lay it on top of the baking paper. Spread the tomato jam/relish/chutney, almost to the edge of the pastry circle.
Step 3	Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the top, in concentric circles; season to taste with salt and pepper, them scatter the grated cheese and oregano over the tomatoes.
Step 4	Bring the edges of the pastry circle up and make a crust around the filling, see photos, so the tart or galette is like an open-faced tart.
Step 5	Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is cooked and has puffed up, and the cheese has melted.
Step 6	Serve immediately, cut into wedges, with more fresh oregano scattered over the top, with a mixed salad and/or seasonal vegetables.
