Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 ½ ounces butter cut into cubes, cold unsalted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg large
- 2-3 tablespoons water cold
For the Filling
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2-3 tomato more, if using smaller tomatoes, large ripe
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons thyme chopped fresh
- 8 ounces goat cheese sliced into rounds, fresh or slightly aged
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chives roughly chopped
Notes
- I’ve found that depending on the variety of tomatoes you use, they might contain a bit too much liquid. If your tomatoes are very ripe and juicy (which is a good thing), try removing some of the seeds before slicing, and allow the slices to drain on paper towels prior to assembling. This way, you’ll avoid winding up with a soggy crust and watery filling. That's not a good look on anybody.
- No tart pan? No problem. You can make a free form tart, which is just as good, and even adds an extra hunk of crust around the edges. And hey, that's never a bad thing. I saved the extra scraps of dough and made a mini free form tart that I hoarded and ate by myself over the sink while the other one baked. I guess you could share yours if you wanted, but hey, I was hungry.
