 Recipe: Tomato Cheese Tart
An extremely simple dish that is always a hit. Everyone who eats it raves
about the crust.
| Yield |
4-6 servings |
| Time |
15 minutes prep + 2 hours chilling and baking |
| Tools |
- food processor
- plastic wrap
- paper towels
- rolling pin
- 10-inch tart pan (with removable bottom)
- fork
|
| Ingredients |
- 1¼ c flour
- ½ t salt
- 1-2 t fresh rosemary or thyme, minced
- 8 T cold butter
- 4-5 T cold water
- 6 oz goat or feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 T olive oil
- salt (unless cheese is very salty)
- pepper
|
| Directions |
Combine flour, salt, and herbs in the food processor. Cut the butter into
pieces, add to flour, and pulse a few times until mixture resembles gravel.
Begin adding 1 T of water at a time, pulsing each time, just until mixture
begins to form a ball. Be careful not to add too much. Place dough on
floured counter and knead for a moment until smooth. Flatten between your
hands, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Slice tomatoes and arrange in a single layer on paper towels, top
with another layer, and press gently to remove excess liquid.
Preheat over to 375.
On floured counter, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
Arrange in tart pan and gently push dough into corners. Roll the rolling pin
over the top to cut excess dough off, then stab fork 9 or 10 times all over
the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle goat cheese into crust, then top
with concentric rings of tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt
and pepper. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. |
