To make the Tart, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a cookie sheet in the oven to heat.
Lay a piece of parchment paper or a silpat mat on a flat work surface.
Lay the thawed sheet of puff pastry on top of the parchment paper and using the point of a sharp knife, and being careful not to cut all the way through, score a 1/2 inch border around the edge of the sheet of puff pastry.
Prick the entire surface with a fork and brush with the egg yolk. Spread the filling evenly over the pastry within the scored area.
Place the cherries, cut side up, in a single layer on top of the frangipane. Place the tart on the hot tray and bake for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with sugar and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the sides are golden and puffed.
Serve with whipped cream.
