Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup ice water (may need a little more if the air is really dry)
- 4 tomatoes
- 3 tbsp mustard
- 1 cup grated cheese (emmental, gruyere, and parmesan)
- 1 tsp thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare the dough: In a food processor or bowl, combine the flour, salt, and butter. Pulse or mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water while pulsing or mixing until the dough begins to clump together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges.
- Spread the mustard evenly over the bottom of the tart crust.
- Slice the tomatoes and arrange them over the mustard in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle thyme over the cheese for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let the tart cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. The tart can be served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a crisp crust. You can substitute the cheese blend with your favorite cheeses.
