Tarte
Cut the heirloom tomatoes into slices. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Arrange them on absorbent paper and sprinkle them with a little salt: this allows them to release their water and prevent them from soaking the pie too much when baking. Cover with another absorbent paper. Leave them like this for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 ° traditional heat.
Spread the puff pastry on a baking sheet, with baking paper. Using a knife, trace the edges of the dough (do not pierce the dough with the knife). The rim should be about 1cm. Then prick the dough with a fork.
Spread the pesto on the dough, avoiding the rim. You will have some pesto left over, but you can enjoy it with yum pasta :)
Cut the mozzarella into slices and place on the pie.
Then add the tomato slices and half cherry tomatoes (cut slice on top). Arrange them randomly on the pie.
Grate a little Parmesan over the tomatoes. Cover the edge of the tart with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 25 minutes until the edge is golden brown.
Before serving, add a few touches of pesto on the pie, a little fresh basil and season the whole.
