Ingredients:

2 tbsp. unsalted butter

2 shallots, finely diced

 1 garlic clove, minced

 4 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes

 2 tsp. oregano, fresh or dried

 1 tsp. thyme, fresh or dried

¼ cup panko bread crumbs

 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and pricked with a fork throughout surface
