This vibrant & vibrant tomato tart is so versatile for summer season! It may be served straight from the oven as a seasonal & elegant appetizer for al fresco eating. Fantastic served with a crisp white wine! It will also be sliced, packed & loved at room temperature for a summertime picnic.
I like utilizing a mixture of heirloom beefsteak & cherry tomatoes. The varied colors & sizes are equally stunning as they’re flavourful. The herb seasoning is a conventional Herbes de Provence, which is a mix of rosemary, thyme, fennel, savoury & lavender. You could find an genuine mix on-line (as I did) or make your personal!
Lastly, I extremely advocate utilizing an all-butter primarily based puff pastry (as a substitute of shortening) which could be discovered within the freezer part of a specialty grocery retailer. Any frozen puff pastry will work, however the all-butter model yields a lot extra buttery flavour & most flakiness.
Cheers to summer season & probably the most fantastic time of yr.. sun-ripened tomato season!
