Description

An elegant tart for a small brunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Recipe For A 9 Inch Pie Crust
  • 3 whole To 4 Whole Roma Tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ cups Kalamata Olives, Roughly Chopped
  • 1-½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, Freshly Grated, Divided
  • ⅛ teaspoons White Or Black Pepper
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Sliced Thin Into Ribbons
  • ½ cups Greek Yogurt Or Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 F. Make your favorite pie crust recipe. Roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom (a 9-inch shallow pie dish would work as well). With a fork, prick holes in the bottom of the crust, place some foil down on top of the crust and weigh it down with some dried beans or pie weights. Partially bake the crust for 8-10 minutes in a 450 F oven. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before assembling the tart (about 1-2 hours). At this point, lower the heat in the oven to 375 F.

Meanwhile, remove the stem part of the tomatoes and thinly slice them. Lay slices on a couple pieces of paper towel to drain. Remove any gooey/seedy parts and discard. Let them drain while the crust cools.

When crust is cool, spread two tablespoons of mustard in the bottom of the crust. Top with chopped olives, 1/4 cup of mozzarella, all of the tomatoes, pepper, salt, garlic, chives and basil. Then add a little more mozzarella.

In a small bowl combine the 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with the remaining cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Spread the yogurt/cheese mixture over top of the other ingredients. Place the tart carefully onto a rimmed sheet pan and place it back into the oven (375 F) for 40-50 minutes or until the top is a deep golden brown. Let the tart cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

This was so delicious!! I used sour cream instead of the yogurt or mayo and it was still awesome.

My whole family loved this. My seven year olds thought it looked like pizza so that went over well. And my husband said after his first bite, “Babe this is really good!” I thought it would make an excellent brunch option and so much lighter than quiche!

This was so good! I love the olives at the bottom, you almost forget about them until you bite into it. I used the greek yogurt instead of mayo and it wasn’t tangy at all. Just a reminder that laying the tomatoes on a paper towel is an important step. I have made a tomato tart before and didn’t do that, you will have a soggy mess. Thanks for the recipe, a total keeper.
