Slice the already washed and dried Pachino cherry tomatoes and arrange them over the entire surface of the quick puff pastry tart with tuna.
Bake the savory tart in a preheated oven at 374°F for about 35 minutes, or according to your appliance’s characteristics.
Once cooked and golden, remove the savory tuna tart, let it rest for a few minutes and serve at the table! Enjoy the quick puff pastry tart with tuna!
