1. Score a border around the edge of each sheet, taking care not to cut through all the layers. Brush with beaten egg, season and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes until puffed up and golden.
2. Pan-fry the tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic and seasoning until caramelised.
3. Spread the pesto inside the border of each sheet of pastry. Divide the ricotta between the 2 tarts and bake for 5–10 minutes until the pastry is cooked through. Serve hot, topped with the pan-fried tomatoes and basil pesto.
