Share:
Ingredients
- 500 grams shortcrust pastry
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes 2 cups
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ cup young Comté cheese grated
- ⅛ teaspoon salt to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- a few flat parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes in half, then toss in salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil and broil till they start to caramelize. Season and set aside.
- Preheat fan oven to 170℃/330℉ (non-fan 190℃/375℉), and roll out the pastry.*
- Grease a 9-inch tart case and line with the pastry, pressing down gently, ensuring it comes up just over the sides.
- Using a fork, make holes in the base of the pastry, then cover with parchment paper and baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove parchment paper and baking beans.
- Turn down the oven to fan 150℃/300℉ (non-fan 170℃/330℉), and bake for a further 10 minutes to dry out the damp areas.
- Allow to cool before spreading a layer of mustard over the pastry.
- Sprinkle over the grated cheese, and add the tomatoes.
- Turn up the oven to fan 170℃/330℉ (non-fan 190℃/375℉) and bake the tart for 10 minutes till cheese has melted. Remove from the oven, and garnish with parsley. Serve the tart warm or at room temperature
Notes
- Keep the pastry chilled till ready to use.
- Use fresh seasonal tomatoes for best flavour.
- Serve warm, room temperature.
- Cover and store leftovers in a cool place on the counter or in the fridge or freeze and defrost in the fridge over night.
