Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart image

The tomato tarts and quiches I've been eating in Provence are delightful. Spreading mustard on the crust before you top it with tomatoes is a new idea that makes perfect sense to me, as mustard is such a perfect condiment for tomatoes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 yeasted olive oil pastry (1/2 recipe)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, marjoram, basil or a combination, or 2 to 3 teaspoons fresh thyme or chopped rosemary
2 eggs
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  • Brush the mustard over the bottom of the dough. Slice the tomatoes and arrange over the mustard in concentric circles, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the herbs.
  • Beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the tomatoes. Drizzle on the olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
