Ingredients
1 puff pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed according to package instructions)
1 1/2 pounds small to medium vine-ripened tomatoes (about 8)
1 small red onion
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1 cup coarsely grated fresh mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions
Preheat oven to 425° F.
On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out pastry into a rectangle roughly 17 by 15 inches and trim edges to form a 16- by 14-inch rectangle.
Cut pastry in half lengthwise, forming two 16- by 7-inch rectangles.
Brush edges with water and fold in edges to form a 1/2-inch-wide border on each rectangle.
With tines of a fork press border to seal.
Transfer rectangles to a large baking sheet.
Thinly slice tomatoes.
Halve onion lengthwise and thinly slice.
Divide anchovy paste between rectangles and spread in a very thin, even layer.
Sprinkle each tart evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
Arrange tomato slices in one layer on cheese.
Scatter onion slices and herbs over tomatoes and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.
Bake tarts in upper third of oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden.

💬 Uncle Dave says... This recipe makes two sizable tarts, enough for a light luncheon main course for four people. Alternatively, the tarts can be cut into small pieces to serve as an hors d'oeuvre.
