SUMMER TOMATO AND RICOTTA TART WITH OAT PASTRY
Steps:
- For the pastry:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the oats, chia seeds and salt in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the flour and almond meal and pulse to combine.
- Place the oil and water in a small jug and whisk to combine. With the food processor running, gradually add the oil mixture to the oat mixture and process until well combined but still crumbly.
- Spoon the pastry into a 24cm-based 3cm-high (9½ in x 1 in) round loose-based fluted tart tin and press firmly over the base and sides until smooth. Prick the pastry base all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until light golden.
- For the filling:
- While the tart shell is baking, place the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine.
- Allow the tart shell to cool completely before carefully lifting it from the tin. Place on a serving plate and fill with the ricotta mixture. Top the tart with the tomato and basil. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and slice into wedges to serve.
SUMMER TOMATO TART
I was looking for appetizers for a party and when I saw the picture, I had to try these. They are so easy and you can prepare them a few days early and throw them together at the last minute. It calls for fresh basil, but I couldn't find any at the 2 stores here in my little town, so I used dry and it worked ok. Fresh would...

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unfold phyllo dough; cover with clean kitchen towel. Lightly brush 17x11-inch rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter. Place 1 sheet phyllo on baking sheet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with some of the Romano cheese. Repeat layers until all phyllo is used, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with cheese.
- 2. Bake 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown and crispy. Cool completely. Wrap tightly until ready to use.
- 3. Arrange mozzarella cheese evenly over crust; top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with half of the basil, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, salt and pepper.
- 4. Bake 5-7 minutes or until cheese is slightly melted and tomatoes are warm. Cool slightly; sprinkle with remaining basil. Cut into 40 pieces.
- 5. TIP: *Fresh mozzarella is made in different sizes. look for balls about 3/4 inch in diameter or the size of a cherry. Cubed mozzarella also can be used.
- 6. NOTE: Sprinkling Romano cheese between the phyllo layers of this tart adds a rich, pleasant saltiness. You can bake the crust and slice the tomatoes and cheese ahead of time, but don't assemble the tart until just before serving to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the quality of your tomatoes, the better your tart will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, juicy flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes before assembling the tart. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. You can roast the tomatoes whole or cut them into wedges. If you roast them whole, prick them with a fork before roasting to help them release their juices.
- Use a flaky crust. A flaky crust will help to balance out the richness of the filling. You can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own. If you're making your own crust, be sure to chill it before baking it.
- Don't overfill the tart. The tart should be filled with just enough filling to cover the bottom of the crust. If you overfill the tart, the filling will spill out and the tart will be difficult to slice.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The tart should be baked for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. You can tell the filling is set by inserting a toothpick into the center of the tart. If the toothpick comes out clean, the tart is done.
- Let the tart cool before serving. Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the tart will be easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Tomato tarts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up summer tomatoes. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a tomato tart recipe that everyone will enjoy.
