Cherry tomato and cheese savory tart

Here is a delicious recipe for a savory tart with cherry tomatoes and cheese that will bring a touch of Italy to your table.

Ingredients

  • 1 roll of brisée dough (or puff pastry if you prefer)
  • 250 g of cherry tomatoes
  • 200 g of hard cheese (such as Parmesan or Pecorino), grated
  • 100 g of soft cheese (such as Stracchino or Robiola)
  • 2 eggs
  • Fresh basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  2. Roll out the brisée dough in a baking tin, preferably with high edges, pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Add the grated cheese and mix well.
  4. Distribute the soft cheese in spoonfuls onto the surface of the brisée dough.
  5. Pour over the egg and grated cheese mixture, leveling with a spoon.
  6. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on the surface of the tart, with the cut facing up.
  7. Add a drizzle of oil and some hand-torn basil leaves.
  8. Finally, insert a clove of garlic in the center of the tart to flavor it (which should be removed before serving).
  9. Bake at 180 °C for about 25-30 minutes or until the tart is golden and the tomatoes have wilted.

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Your cherry tomato and cheese savory tart is ready to be enjoyed!
