Roasted Tomato Tart
- 3/4 cup ricotta
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for rolling dough and sprinkling
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large egg yolks
- Handful of chopped fresh herbs such as oregano, thyme, or chives
- 1/2 recipe Tart Dough, prepared through step 2 and chilled
- 10 to 15 Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream or milk
- Combine the ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmigiano, salt, pepper, 1 egg yolk, and the herbs in a small bowl.
- Stir until well combined.
- Set aside.
- Dust a work surface with grated Parmigiano.
- Sprinkle more cheese on top of the dough.
- Roll into a rough circle about 10 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick.
- Turn frequently and dust with more cheese as needed to prevent sticking.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Spread the filling on the dough, leaving about a 1 1/2-inch border.
- Arrange the tomatoes on top, leaving a little space between them, and gently fold the edges of the dough toward the center, creating a 1- to 1 1/2-inch border.
- Chill until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 425F, and position the rack in the middle of the oven.
- Gently but firmly press the sides of the tart down with slightly cupped hands.
- This will prevent the tart from unfurling while baking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg yolk and the heavy cream.
- Brush the edges of the tart with the egg wash and then sprinkle with grated Parmigiano.
- Immediately transfer to the oven.
- After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 400F, rotate the baking pan, and bake 20 minutes longer.
- The edges and bottom should be golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and slide the tart, on the parchment paper, onto a cooling rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
