Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.
Unroll the sheet of puff pastry, keep it on the parchment paper and transfer it to a baking tray. Lightly score a rectangle 2cm inside the outer edge. Use the back of a spoon to spread the sun-dried tomato paste in the inner rectangle. Beat an egg and brush this around the outer rim of the pastry.
Slice the tomatoes and goats cheese into rounds and lay these over the the tomato paste. Sprinkle with thyme leaves, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
Dress the salad with olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegar. Serve the tart whole in the middle of the table and serve with the salad.
