What to serve with this tomato tart recipe

When I serve this I often keep the menu very simple. A thick slice of this tart beside an arugula salad makes the perfect brunch or light dinner. But it's also lovely with a bigger meal. Here are a few recipes that I think go well with this tomato tart:

How to prevent a soggy pie crust

When I make this tomato tart, I always give the tomato slices a gentle squeeze to remove most of the liquid. I find that when I do this, the bottom of my pie crust never gets soggy.

It's also important to evenly spread the cheese mixture over the entire bottom of the pie. This will help create a barrier between the crust and the juicy tomatoes.

Another option (but one I haven't listed in the instructions as it's not one I use) is to blind bake the pie crust. This means that you partially bake the pie crust before adding the filling. To do this:

  1. Place parchment paper over the pie crust and fill the pie with pie weights or dry bean/ rice.
  2. Bake the pie for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the pie from the oven then add your filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup EACH: goat cheese and mascarpone
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 6 medium tomatoes, sliced thick and squeezed gently to remove most of the pulp and seeds

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 9" pie pan with the pie crust. Let the edges drape down the outside of the pie pan a little for a more rustic look. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust. Place a piece of parchment paper on the crust and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes then let cool slightly.
  • While the crust is baking, make the filling. In a small bowl mix goat cheese, mascarpone, rosemary, sea salt, and lemon zest. Spread this over the bottom of the slightly cooled pie crust.

  • Layer the tomato slices over the cheese mixture until the pie is completely full. Sprinkle with a little sea salt on top.
    6 medium tomatoes
  • Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until crust is light brown and tomatoes are soft. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for at least 1 hour.
