Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9-inch) prepared pie dough, thawed if frozen (not pie shells)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
6 oz crumbled goat cheese (1 1/3 cups)
1 lb plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise
Garnish: fresh basil leaves
Special Equipment
a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • If necessary, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch round and fit into tart pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom and sides with a fork.
  • Line tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven until pastry is pale golden around rim, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove weights and foil and bake until golden all over, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool in pan on a rack.
  • While tart shell is baking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then cook onion with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Spread onion over bottom of tart shell and top with 1 rounded cup goat cheese. Arrange tomatoes, slightly overlapping, in concentric circles over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil. Put foil over edge of crust (to prevent overbrowning).
  • Put tart pan on a baking sheet and broil tart about 7 inches from heat until cheese starts to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.

I'm going to try making this tart again soon. I'm confident that I can make it better the second time around.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some salt and pepper.

Overall, I thought the tart was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had some trouble getting the tart out of the pan. I think I would try using a tart pan with a removable bottom next time.

The tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I would try blind-baking it next time.

I found that the tart was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the filling.

This tart is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort.

I used a store-bought pie crust, but I'm sure a homemade one would be even better.

I added some fresh herbs to the filling, and they really took the flavor up a notch.

This tart is a great way to showcase fresh summer tomatoes. I used heirloom tomatoes, and they were so flavorful.

This tart is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The tomatoes and onions are roasted to perfection, and the goat cheese adds a creamy richness.
