Tomato Mozzarella Tatin Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4-6 Roma tomatoes, sliced
• 8 oz. mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and garlic, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and translucent.
3. Spread the onion mixture evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) cast iron skillet. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
4. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the onion mixture in the skillet, overlapping them slightly. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Arrange the mozzarella cheese slices on top of the tomatoes.
6. Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut a 10-inch (25cm) circle from the puff pastry sheet and place it over the mozzarella cheese, tucking the edges into the skillet.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving dish. Serve warm.
