- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) fan for 15 minutes. Line the 26 cm (10 in) tart pan with parchment and the puff pastry, and prick the bottom with a fork.Making it from scratch? See the shortcrust pastry — ≈ 15 min
- Wash and dry the 6 tomatoes and slice 5 mm (¼ in) thick. Lay on paper towels and salt lightly to draw out the water for 15 minutes.
- Brush the 3 tbsp of Dijon mustard over the crust in a thin, even layer right to the edges.
- Sprinkle half the Gruyère over the mustard — it keeps the crust from going soggy.
- Pat the tomatoes dry and arrange them in overlapping circles from the edge to the center.
- Thinly slice the 2 garlic cloves (germ removed) and scatter over. Season and sprinkle with the sugar (to balance the acidity) and herbes de Provence.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the Gruyère. Bake for 35 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F) until the tomatoes are soft and the crust golden and crisp.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before unmolding. Serve warm topped with fresh basil, with an arugula salad.
