Tomato Tart

Recipe from cooking light

This Delicious tart is full of favor.Its meatless but you wont even notice,  if in case your one of those people who feel they have to have  meat for dinner. The men also really love this tart ,and will be asking  for seconds and thirds. . For me it's one of my favorite tomato tart  recipes  and easy to make, But make sure not  to use really juicy tomatoes, I would suggest that after coring   you  rinse off your tomatoes,  as well  the  olives.  Then pat dry with a paper towel, other wise the tart will come out a bit soggy..

Ingredients

  • 7 ozs pie dough (refrigerated)
  • cooking spray
  • 12 ozs fontina cheese (shredded, about 2/3 cup)
  • 12 cup pitted kalamata olives (chopped)

  • 3 tbsps all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (divided)
  • 12 tsp pepper

    using a 9-inch deep-dish tart pan coat with cooking spray.

    Roll dough to a 12-inch circle:  press into pan
    I used Pillsbury's ready made pie crust, its the perfect size and already roll out.

    Sprinkle 2 1/2 oz fotina cheese over pie crust.

    Then your 1/2 cup chopped olive or olive paste.

    Next sprinkle pie with the 1/3 cup  sliced shallots

    Arrange  half of the seeded tomatoes slices over shallots.

    Combine flour, cornmeal, and thyme; sprinkle over tomatoes.  


    Top with remaining tomato slices; sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.


    Combine milk, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 3 eggs; pour into pan.
    Don't worry if it doesn't look like you have enough liquid, the eggs expand. Now place in oven; Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until set;   


    let tart stand for 10 minutes, then if you want top with basil.


    Cut into wedges and serve with fresh fruit or a garden salad. 
    Enjoy!!
