Cut the tomatoes in half and spread it over the pastry.
Crumb the Feta chees on top and sprinkle with the rest of the olive oil. (You can use a little bit more if you like.)
Break the basil leaves and decorate to top the tart.

Did you know?

To “dock” a pastry means to prick a pie crust with a fork before baking.

It is just a way to poke holes in the pastry dough and allows the steam to escape so that the pie crust doesn’t puff up in the oven.
