Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-inch square; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and mustard and season with salt and pepper. Spread sour cream mixture evenly over pastry. Fold over 1/2-inch border on all sides and press edges to seal. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, halve leeks lengthwise; rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and slice 1/4-inch thick. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are very soft, 5 minutes. Arrange leeks evenly over sour cream mixture on pastry. Top with tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bake until pastry is golden brown and crisp, 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Top with goat cheese and herbs before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TART
The tomato tarts and quiches I've been eating in Provence are delightful. Spreading mustard on the crust before you top it with tomatoes is a new idea that makes perfect sense to me, as mustard is such a perfect condiment for tomatoes.

HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TART
Steps:
- In a food processor, combine the butter, flour and pinch of salt. Pulse until the butter is about the size of small peas. In a small bowl, mix 1 egg with the ice water. Add to the flour-butter mixture. Pulse until the dough begins to come together, but is still somewhat loose and shaggy. Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and gather together lightly and quickly into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
- Place dough on floured surface and roll out into large circle, about 1/8-inch in thickness. Sprinkle the bottom of the dough with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Begin to layer the tomatoes around in concentric circles inside the dough, leaving about a 2-inch margin of dough at the edges. Sprinkle the fresh goat cheese evenly over the sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the goat cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg with the 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Season with salt and pepper, about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fold the edges of the dough up around the tomatoes, pinching the creases as you go, but casually. Enclose the tomatoes partway to make it leak-proof. Carefully pour the custard around and over the tomatoes and cheese. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Place in 400 degree oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Cut the tart into 10 wedges and sprinkle wit the julienned basil. Serve

GOAT CHEESE AND TOMATO TART IN A CORNMEAL CRUST
Steps:
- Make crust:
- Cut butter into pieces.
- In a food processor pulse together flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water and pulse until incorporated and mixture just forms a dough. Press dough evenly into bottom and up sides of a 10 1/2- by 7- by 1-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable fluted rim (see note, above) and roll a rolling pin over rim of pan to trim dough flush with rim. Chill crust about 20 minutes, or until firm.
- While crust is chilling, preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line crust with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake crust in lower third of oven until edge is set, 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake crust 5 minutes more, or until just dry. Leave oven on and cool crust in pan on a rack (crust may crack slightly). Crust may be made 1 day ahead and kept, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature.
- Make custard:
- Chop basil. In a bowl whisk together basil and remaining custard ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour custard into crust, spreading evenly. Halve tomatoes and arrange, cut sides up, in one layer on custard, pressing lightly into custard. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and bake tart in lower third of oven until custard is just set, about 25 minutes. Cool tart to warm in pan on rack. Tart may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered, in pan. Reheat tart, uncovered, in a 350°F. oven or bring to room temperature before serving.
- Carefully remove rim from pan. Cut tart into roughly 2-inch pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
GOAT CHEESE AND TOMATO TART
Steps:
- Make the crust:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer stir together the yeast, the sugar, and 1/3 cup lukewarm water and proof the yeast mixture for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in an additional 1/3 cup lukewarm water, the oil, the cornmeal, 1 1/2 cups of the flour, and the salt and blend the mixture, adding more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, as necessary to form a dough. Knead the dough, incorporating as much of the remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough, for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn it to coat it with the oil. Let the dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk, and punch it down. Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a floured surface, fit it into a greased 15- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan, crimping the edges decoratively, and bake the crust in the bottom third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is pale golden. Transfer the crust on the pan to a rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. The crust may be made 1 day in advance and kept, covered tightly with plastic wrap, at room temperature.
- Make the custard:
- In a bowl whisk together the scallion, the goat cheese, the eggs, the cream, the minced basil, salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth.
- In a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat hot but not smoking and in it sauté half the tomatoes with half the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are browned lightly, transferring them as they are sautéed to a plate. Sauté the remaining tomatoes with the remaining garlic in the same manner.
- Spread the custard evenly over the crust and arrange the tomatoes in rows on it. Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the custard is pale golden and set. Remove the tart carefully from the baking sheet with 2 spatulas and let it cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Garnish the tart with the basil sprigs and serve it at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs and sit on a sheet of foil. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil, season and wrap into a parcel. Roast for 50 mins or until soft, then leave to cool - this can be done the day before.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry into quarters. Roll out each piece and cut into a 14cm-diameter circle. Use a saucer as a guide if you don't have a cutter. Pop the circles on a baking tray and score a 1cm border around the edge of each, being careful not to cut all the way through. Avoiding the border, prick the pastry all over with a fork, then chill.
- Increase oven to 200C/180 fan/gas 6. When the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the flesh from the bulbs into a bowl. Add the mustard, remaining oil and some seasoning, and use a fork to mash to a paste. Spread this over the pastry, leaving the border clear, then top with the tomato halves, skin-side down, and season well.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with egg, crumble over the goat's cheese and bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is golden and crisp, and the tomatoes are starting to shrivel. Remove from the tray and allow to cool to room temperature. Scatter over the basil before serving.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling later on.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your tarts. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, and a flaky puff pastry dough.
- Don't overmix the dough: When making the puff pastry dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing will make the dough tough and chewy.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to rise evenly. You can chill the dough for up to 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the tarts until they are golden brown: The tarts are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.
