Baking time

Lightly brush your cherry tomatoes with some olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. Fold slightly the edge of the pastry down to cover the filling.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° for about 30 minutes or until the pastry and cheese becomes golden. Then turn on the broiler (the strong central grill in the oven) and brown the surface of the tomatoes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and serve.
