Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start by making the tomato salad, so the flavors can meld while you make the tuiles. Place the diced tomato, mint, parsley, red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well, then set aside.
Combine the pecorino, flour, butter, and peppercorns in a small bowl. Work it together with your fingertips until it becomes a dough. Divide into ten pieces, then roll each piece into a ball. Space the balls evenly apart on the prepared baking sheet and flatten with your hand. Bake for 7-8 minutes until lightly browned.
Let the tuiles cool for 5 minutes, then serve with a spoonful of tomato salad on top. Enjoy!
