CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO TART
One of these days Michele and I will travel to the south of France, where we'll eat this amazing tomato tart at least once a day. It's going to be hot, since we'll have to go in the middle of summer to enjoy best possible tomatoes, but that's fine, as long as there's chilled rosé. One layer of tomato is plenty, since more than that will make for an overly wet tart, which means your pastry will not stay crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
- Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
- Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.

HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART
Heirloom tomatoes may seem flawed, but it's actually their uniformly red counterparts who are the genetic deviants of the tomato family. Decades ago, many businesses decided to prioritize cookie-cutter-like hybrid tomatoes, which grow year-round and can survive a long, bumpy journey. It left heirloom tomatoes on the wrong side of the deal. The varieties that remain have a shorter shelf life and are relegated to just a few months of summer, but they're sweeter with a more robust flavor. This tart celebrates juicy, vibrant tomatoes in a cheesy, herby, custard-filled, flaky crust, with each bite punctuated with pesto.

Bake until soft and golden brown and the tip of a knife easily pierces the flesh, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees. When garlic is cool enough to handle, using either your hands or the dull end of a large knife, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and into a small bowl; mash with a fork, and set aside. Discard the papery skins.

Steps:
- Soak the cashews in water for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Drain cashews. Combine cashews, chickpeas, broth, seeded jalapeno, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, miso paste, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Put the pie crust into an 11-inch tart pan. (A 9-inch pie crust should be the right size because a tart pan is only about an inch shallow. If necessary, just roll out the pie crust a bit to stretch it out.)
- Layer two pieces of foil over the pie crust. Fill it with beans or pie weights. Turn down the heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 11 minutes. Remove from oven and take away foil and weights.

- Cut tomatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Remove the seeds. Cut the other jalapeno into rings.
- Spread cashew mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Layer tomato slices on top, overlapping if necessary. Place jalapeno rings over the pie. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top. Sprinkle with paprika and 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and tomatoes have begun to caramelize, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool before serving.

CHERRY TOMATO TART
This tart came about as a way to use up some odds-and-ends ingredients that I had been wanting to get used up. Make sure to place a baking sheet under the tart pan while baking--those tomatoes can make a bit of a mess when they burst open! They add quite a bit of juice, which can pool on top a little. I simply dabbed up extra juice with a paper towel and that worked fine. This is best served warm, on the day it's made. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.

Steps:
- Roll out pie dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Gently transfer dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; press to fit snugly. Trim dough so there's 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Gently fold edges of dough under to create a slight lip of dough over the top of the pan on all sides.
- Prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork, being sure to not puncture all the way through. Place the prepared crust into the freezer until completely chilled, at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until golden brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Mix Gouda, basil, mayonnaise, Cheddar, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, oregano, pepper, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled onion and garlic until completely combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Remove tart pan from the freezer. Gently spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom. Place cherry tomatoes evenly over the top and gently press down. Place tart on a large baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, cheeses are bubbly, and most of the tomatoes have burst, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Gently remove the tart from the pan and place on a serving platter. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The better the tomatoes, the better the tart will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
- Roast the tomatoes before using them: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: Puff pastry is the key to a light and flaky tart crust. Look for puff pastry that is made with butter, not margarine.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the crust tough. Be gentle when rolling it out.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The tart is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the tart should come out clean.
Conclusion:
Tomato tarts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a tomato tart that will impress your friends and family.
