Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1⁄8-in. (3 mm) thickness.
Using a 2-in. (5 cm) round cookie cutter or glass, cut out 12 circles and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Beat yolk with water and brush over dough.
Bake, 10 min.
Remove baking sheet from oven and place a second baking sheet overtop, pressing down gently to stop pastry circles from rising any further.
Place stacked baking sheets in oven and bake, 8 min.
Remove from oven.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook butter and garlic without browning, about 2 min.
Add sugar and vinegar, stirring until sugar is dissolved and liquid comes to a boil.
Add tomato halves and cook 5 to 8 min. or until slightly caramelized.
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove top baking sheet and divide tomatoes over pastry circles.
Bake, 5 min.
Garnish with basil and cheese.
