Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Leaving the tomatoes whole, mix them with the thyme leaves, then spread evenly in a heavy-based ovenproof 24cm frying pan (see tip). Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 30cm square, then cut out a rough circle a little wider than the top of the pan. (Discard the leftover pastry.)
- Sprinkle half the parmesan over the tomatoes, then top with the pastry, tucking the edges in well. Sprinkles with remaining cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stand for a couple of minutes before inverting onto a plate. Add the extra thyme sprigs and serve with a salad.

I made this for supper and served with a salad as suggested. It was fantastic. Great flavour, though I did add some salt to the tomatoes before cooking. The only problem I had was the pastry ballooned and pushed some of the tomatoes together so it didn’t look as pretty. Not sure how to stop that but I did wonder if I pricked the pastry that might stop it. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
