Preheat the oven to 210°C or 410°F.
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a tart mould or tin, spread it all over the bottom with a brush.
Line this with 2 puffs or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée). If you have a protection paper with the puff pastry, leave it, and grease between paper and pastry.
If needed cut around the top of the tin to remove excess pastry.

Remarks
The tomatoes depending on of their origin and ripeness could give off a lot of juice, which can be a bit annoying as it makes the pastry soggy. To try to reduce this there are several methods:
- Do not salt before cooking, because it's the salt which brings out the juice. Instead salt salt just after bringing out of the oven.
- Drain off as most of the juice partway through cooking, but it's a slightly delicate operation. For this Francoise uses a large plastic ex-medical syringe.
- Salt the the tomatoes and leave the juice to drain off before using (see above).
Keeping: Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
