Tomato Tart

If you haven’t made a savory tart lately (or ever) then it’s time to roll out that pastry dough and get to baking! This tart has three main ingredients; beautiful heirloom tomatoes, caramelized onions and creamy goat cheese.

A Few Notes

• If you’d like to add some more flavors use the spread from my spiral vegetable tart in place of the plain goat cheese I used here.
• I used strips of parchment paper to help me pull the tart out ofter baking. It worked like a charm!!
• After cutting the tomatoes try patting them with a paper towel to reduce the water content before tossing with the oil.
• Feel free to add your favorite flavors to this just like you would when making a pizza! I love some sautéed mushrooms and leeks in this dish too!

Add a smattering of fresh basil leaves just before serving. If you want to go all out then chiffonade some basil and sprinkle it all over.

Ingredients

For the Pastry

• ▢ 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
• ▢ 1/4 tsp sea salt
• ▢ 8 tbs unsalted butter 1 stick frozen
• ▢ 2-4 tbs ice water
• ▢ 1 egg for the egg wash

For the Tart

• ▢ 3/4 cup goat cheese room temperature
• ▢ 2 onions
• ▢ 4 tbsp butter
• ▢ 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• ▢ 1/2 tsp black pepper
• ▢ 4 cups heirloom tomatoes

Instructions

Prep Work

• Slice the onions and cook on medium-high heat with the butter stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low if the onions start to burn. Slow cooking breaks down the sugars in the onions and this takes a while (30-40 min).
• Slice the tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes can be halved. Larger tomatoes should be sliced into 1 inch pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 tsp kosher salt and thyme if desired.

For the Pastry Dough

• Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
• Grate the butter into the flour mixing as you go.
• Add 2 tbs of the ice water (you can add more later if need be) and work the dough together for just a few moments more until it comes together.
• Add another 1/2 to 1 tbs ice water if it's too dry or crumbly.
• Separate, gently flatten the dough into a disk and cover in plastic wrap.
• Place in the fridge. and let the dough chill for at least 30 minutes.

For the Assembly

• Preheat oven to 450F
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with a teaspoon of water.
• Roll the dough out and press into a large tart pan.
• Spread the goat cheese on the base.
• Arrange the caramelized onions on top then cover with tomatoes cut side up.
• Brush edge with egg wash
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and tomatoes have softened.
