Heirloom Tomato And Goat Cheese Tart
- Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- Filling
- 1 small to medium tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- 2 ounces soft goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon dijon or whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour and a pinch of salt.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg together with ice water.
- Remove bowl from freezer. Slowly add egg mixture and mix to incorporate evenly. Form dough into a ball and return to freezer a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice tomatoes width-wise. Don't slice to thick or it will be difficult to overlap the tomatoes in the tart.
- Remove dough from freezer and place on lightly floured surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll dough out to around a 1/8" thickness.
- Take a 10" mixing bowl and place it upside down on the rolled out dough. With a paring knife, cut around the perimeter of the bowl. Keeping the bowl in place, pull the excess dough up and use for the next tart.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place dough rounds on parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of mustard over the top of the dough, leaving a 1" border on the outside.
- Place tomatoes on mustard (again, with a 1" border), overlapping in a circle. It helps me to start in the middle and work out. If using different tomato types, alternate them (or come up with a pattern of your choosing!)
- With floured fingers, fold sides of tart up. Every 2" or so, pinch and fold a little corner in the dough, working in the same direction for each pinch. When finished, lightly press sides of folds down so they hug the tomatoes and overlap them slightly.
- Whisk an egg and a little water together to form an egg wash. Brush wash on sides of the tart dough.
- Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and add pieces of goat cheese (be liberal). Sprinkle Herbes de Provence over top.
- Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden, and the tomatoes and goat cheese are cooked. If cheese isn't brown or bubbly enough for your likening, set under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Let tarts rest a couple of minutes and sprinkle with a little sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
