When markets brim with the red, yellow and pink hues of cherry, beefsteak and heirloom tomatoes, here’s how to welcome them back into your kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole garlic head

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 sheet PC Butter Puff Pastry, thawed

  • 1 cup quark cheese

  • 4 tsp finely chopped chives

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 400 g heirloom tomatoes, various sizes and colours, sliced or halved

  • sea salt, (optional)

  • pepper, (optional)

  • fresh basil leaves

  • mircogreens or baby arugula

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 400F, then line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • CUT off and discard top of garlic. Place bulb on a large piece of foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil, then wrap with foil. Roast until garliccloves are soft, about 50 min.

  • ROLL puff pastry to a 14 × 10-in. rectangle on a lightly floured surface, then  place on prepared sheet. Prick pastry all over with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 min.

  • BAKE until golden brown, about 12 min. Let cool on a rack for 20 min.

  • SQUEEZE garlic from bulb into a bowl. Mash into a paste with a fork, then stir in quark, chives, 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Spread over pastry, leaving a border. Arrange tomatoes on top and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 2 tsp of oil, then garnish with basil and microgreens.
