We used basil, dill, thyme, and parsley, but just about any combination of herbs that pair well with tomatoes—such as oregano and tarragon—would work.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 3/4 lb.)

  • 1/2 pt. assorted small tomatoes, halved

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1 (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

  • 1 (8-oz.) package shredded mozzarella cheese

  3. Bake at 400ºF for 14 minutes or until golden.
