Preparation
Caramelizing the Tomatoes
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Melt Butter and Dissolve Sugar
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
Ensure the sugar fully dissolves in the butter to avoid grainy caramel.
Caramelize Tomatoes
Add the sliced heirloom tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly caramelized.
Preparing the Lavender Honey Infusion
Warm Honey
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey gently.
Infuse with Lavender
Add dried lavender and stir. Let it infuse on low for 5 minutes.
Strain Honey
Strain the honey to remove lavender bits. Set aside.
Cooking Process
Assemble Tart
Arrange caramelized tomatoes in a tart pan, overlapping slightly.
Cover with Pastry
Gently place the puff pastry over the tomatoes, tucking the edges inside.
Bake Tart
Apply an egg wash over the pastry for a golden finish and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
