I'm not typically a fan of tomatoes, but I loved this tart! The sweetness of the tomatoes paired well with the savory cheese and herbs.

This basil tomato tart was a hit at my summer party! The flavors of the basil and tomatoes were perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
