Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 3 whole large tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp crushed oregano
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • flour
Lightly flour the work surface and roll the puff pastry to about 16 inches; a rectangle is fine and it need not be precise.
Rolling and docking the puff pastry
Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and dock it all over with a fork so the bottom stays flat.
  • 1 cup already made pesto
Spread the pesto all over the bottom.
Spreading the pesto
  • 1 lb jaloumi cheese
  • grape tomatoes
  • 1 whole yellow bell pepper
Slice the halloumi thinly; slice the large tomatoes, the grape tomatoes and the bell pepper.
Layer halloumi slices over the pesto, then tomatoes, then more halloumi, rustic style, and fit in the bell peppers.
Brush everything with olive oil and season with a little salt and crushed oregano.
  • salt
Pinch the edges together into a rustic border, brush the pastry with more olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
Bake at 400F on the center rack for the first 30 minutes.
Move to the top rack for the remaining 10 to 15 minutes until golden.
Let sit about five to ten minutes, not too long, then move to a serving board.
