Brush egg wash all over the pastry case.Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy (the pastry doesn't need to be completely cooked through at this stage). Set aside and leave the oven on.Meanwhile, start on the sauce. Grill the tomato halves and vine tomatoes on the barbecue, or roast in the oven for 8–10 minutes until softened and charred. Set aside.Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and sweat the garlic. Add the roasted tomatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes until the moisture disappears, stirring and pressing down to turn them into a sauce. Season with salt and pepper and add the thyme leaves. Remove from the heat and decant into a small bowl to cool.To assemble the tart, spread a thin layer of tapenade over the puff pastry base, followed by a generous, even layer of tomato sauce.
