Method

Roll out pastry, to a 30cm (12in) square, on a lightly floured surface. Place on a sturdy baking sheet. Score a 1cm (1⁄2in) border around edge. Prick inside border with a fork. Chill for 30 mins.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsps of the oil in a frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion, garlic and leaves from 3 sprigs of tarragon. Cook over a gentle heat for 15 mins, until softened. Leave to cool.
Set the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the pastry, spread the onion over, put brie slices on top, add more tarragon leaves from 2 sprigs, season well and arrange tomato slices on top, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with sugar and drizzle with some oil. Bake below the centre of the oven for 35 mins. Take out, drizzle with a little more oil, if you like. Eat warm or cold, scattered with tarragon leaves.
