Steps:
- Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 pastry sheet at a time, roll out on floured surface to 13-inch square. Using 6-inch-diameter plate, cut out 4 rounds from 1 sheet and 2 rounds from second sheet (reserve remaining pastry for another use). Transfer 3 rounds to each baking sheet. Pierce each round with fork. Top rounds with another sheet of parchment. Place another baking sheet atop parchment on each sheet.
- Place 1 baking sheet stack on each rack in oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheets and bake until rounds are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Using oven mitts, carefully remove top baking sheets and top sheets of parchment. Continue baking pastries until deep golden, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sheets to rack to cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Spread generous tablespoon tapenade over each pastry round, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Alternate 4 tomato slices with 4 mozzarella slices atop each pastry in pinwheel pattern. Bake just until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Arrange a few basil leaves and olive slices atop each tartlet and serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will help create a delicious and flavorful filling for your tart.
- Be sure to drain the tomatoes well before adding them to the tart filling. This will help prevent the tart from becoming too watery.
- If you don't have any tapenade on hand, you can make your own by blending together olives, capers, anchovies, and olive oil.
- You can also add other ingredients to your tart filling, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or shredded cheese.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the tart. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
