It was too tasty to be my own recipe.

Did I imagine this delicious recipe for a thyme, tomato and camembert/brie tart? Help me find it please!
I have a somewhat fuzzy memory of making a tart that layered tomato and either camembert or brie, and was topped with crushed thyme.
I half-remembered it also having thinly sliced potatoes, but I couldn't swear to that.
It definitely did not have egg or anything else in it, it was very simple which added to its appeal. Just layers of thinly sliced tomato alternating with thin slices of brie or camembert (and the afore-mentioned possibility of potato), and sprigs of fresh thyme.
I remember using puff pastry for the base, but that may or may not have been in the recipe. I don't usually make pastry so it might have been a quick-and-easy substitute.
It seems likely I would have got the recipe from the internet. I use www.taste.com.au a lot. I made it about four years ago. But I can't for the life of me find it on google. Do I have false-memory syndrome about this delicious dish?!

Ina Garten has a Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart made with puff pastry in her Back to Basics cookbook. It does have thyme in it too. No camembert or brie though.

Response by poster: Nope, definitely no goat's cheese. I remember cutting the cheese up and it was definitely brie or camembert. Thanks though.

Here's a very simple tomato, camembert, and no eggs recipe.
Here's another with thyme, no eggs, tomato, and camembert, but not super simple.
Here's one with camembert, tomatoes, thyme, super simple ingredients wise, but unfortunately also with goat cheese, but on puff pastry (could be left out).
Here's one that is JUST puff pastry, brie, tomatoes, and basil (but trivially easy to substitute thyme).

Response by poster: These are all good, but not what I was looking for.
I ended up just using puff pastry, slicing the tomatoes and brie thinly, and layering them, then sprinkling with thyme, salt and pepper. Hot oven for 25 minutes and voila!
The tomatoes were a bit soggy, but it was delicious. Very quick and easy too. If anyone wants to try this at home, I'd suggest slicing the tomatoes and grilling them lightly first to cut down on the moisture, or just use really firm tomatoes.
Thanks everyone for the awesome recipes!
