Easy Puff Pastry Tart



Cuts into 6-8 slices

500g frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed
500g Mozzarella cheese, drained & dried on kitchen paper
125g bacon bits
3 tomatoes
2 tsp lazy basil (ready-prepared, in jar)
About 16 black olives, pitted and halved
Several pinches of dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1.  Line a baking tray with baking paper (my pastry comes in two squares, and I only have a small oven, so I use two trays. Use whatever size tray suits the pastry you get).
2.  Preheat oven to 180ÂșC (350°F).
3.  Put pastry on tray. Score pastry about 12 mm (half an inch) in from the sides. Spread the lazy basil over the base, keeping within the scored edges.
4.  Slice the mozzarella cheese, break up slices and scatter all over the pastry making sure you keep within the scored edges. Scatter the bacon bits over. Thinly slice the tomatoes and arrange on top. Scatter the olive halves over. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with dried oregano.
5.  Bake in the middle of the oven for 35-45 minutes, until the pastry is well risen and golden.
Serve hot or cold.
