What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and unroll puff pastry on top. Fold in edges by ¾-inch to create a border. Rub garlic clove over centre of pastry, and then discard garlic. Using a fork, pierce pastry a few times.

  2. On a separate baking tray, place tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Place both baking trays in oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until pastry is golden.

  3. Remove trays from oven. If centre of pastry has risen up in places, push down gently with a fork. Lay tomatoes in an even layer over pastry. Sprinkle with dill, nasturtium leaves and flowers, salt, and pepper. Serve warm or cold.
