Description

Simple but perfect summer supper that takes advantage of beautiful farmer’s market tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Chilled And Cut Into 1" Pieces
  • ¼ cups Ice Water
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 cup Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk, Or More If Needed
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 3 whole Tomatoes, Sliced Thin

Preparation

To make the crust, add the flour, salt, baking powder and butter to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over-mix. With the machine running, add the ice water through the feed tube until a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

When the dough has chilled, roll it out on a well-floured surface into about a 10″ circle. Drape over and fit it into a 9″ tart pan (preferably one with a removable bottom) and move your rolling pin across the fluted top to cut off the excess dough.

Make the filling by combine the Gorgonzola and ricotta cheeses in a bowl and mix together, by hand or with a mixer, until mostly smooth. Add the milk if needed and season with salt and pepper. Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the tart shell and top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle a little salt over the top and bake for 35 – 45 minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown.
