How to make
Step 1: Defrost Pastry and Prep Ingredients
Remove the sheet of puff pastry from the freezer and set out until it comes to about room temperature. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix goat cheese, heavy cream and grated garlic together until a smooth mixture remains. Cut tomatoes into thin slices.
Step 2: Assemble Pizza
Roll puff pastry sheet into a 12”x14” rectangle and place on the lined baking sheet. Puncture sheet of puff pastry all over with a fork.
Spread goat cheese mixture over the puff pastry and layer on the sliced tomatoes in an even layer. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Bake and Enjoy
Place in the oven and bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes.
Grate fresh parmesan cheese over top and garnish with fresh basil. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into 9 slices and serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, put the puff pastry pizza in a toaster oven until warm, or enjoy cold.
