Directions

  1. 1. Lay the tomato slices on paper towels or a rack, season lightly with salt, and let drain 20 minutes. Pat dry. Heat the BlueStar oven to 400°F.
  2. 2. Place the cold pastry on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Score a 1-inch border without cutting through and prick the center with a fork.
  3. 3. Stir the Dijon and garlic together and spread inside the border. Sprinkle with Gruyère and Parmesan. Arrange the dried tomato slices in overlapping rows, then add thyme, olives, pepper, and the olive oil.
  4. 4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is deeply golden and crisp underneath.
  5. 5. Rest 10 minutes, scatter with basil, and cut into 6 pieces.
