Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Make the pastry as below, omitting the sugar and reducing the water to 1-2tbsp.
Cut the larger tomatoes in half and arrange, cut side up, in a roasting tin. Tuck the garlic cloves in around them and drizzle with the olive oil.
Pick a handful of thyme leaves and scatter over the tomatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and roast in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the garlic and set aside.
Roll out the pastry and use to line a 35cm x 11cm (14in x 4¼in) rectangular loose-bottomed tart tin. Squeeze the roasted garlic flesh out of the cloves and stir into the goats' cheese.
Spread the mixture over the bottom of the pastry and arrange the tomatoes on top.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the tin and garnish with extra thyme to serve.
