Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tbsp soft cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard
8 ripe tomatoes
375g puff pastry
flour , for rolling out
anchovies or olives to decorate, if you like
chunk parmesan

Steps:

  • Ask a grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soft cheese together with the mustard in a small bowl.
  • Cut the tomatoes into thick slices.
  • Roll the pastry into a rectangle on a floured surface - don't worry if the edges are uneven. Lift the pastry onto a baking sheet
  • Now trim off any really wiggly bits. Mark a border the thickness of two fingers around the edge.
  • Spread the soft cheese inside the border, then arrange the tomato slices on top. Decorate with anchovies or olives (if using).
  • Grate the Parmesan all over. Ask a grown-up to put the tart in the oven for 30 mins or until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes are cooked.

ZURIE'S TOMATO AND CREAM CHEESE TART



Zurie's Tomato and Cream Cheese Tart image

I'd like to dedicate this recipe to Molly53. When I could not find a tomato tart or pie on Zaar with cream cheese as a basis, she went to the trouble of converting a recipe and posting it for me in RR, which is really going to a lot of trouble! Thank you, Molly53!! This is not that tart, but in the end I put this together, and my severest critic, my husband, said the tart was fine. At the time of my request in RR I had lots of small plum tomatoes which in the heat became too overripe for salad but I could not bear to throw them out. I had a large chunk left of my favourite pastry, recipe #197151, which had to be used, but I confess that I don't know how much I used for this pie.... The amount given is a guess. The taste is clean; I did not want to use mayo. Prep time does not include making the pastry.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces pastry dough (short or puff or the recipe given in the intro, you might need more or less)
4 ounces cream cheese (125 g)
1 pinch salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (spring onions)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon hot pepper, finely chopped (no seeds or ribs)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cream
1 egg
32 plum tomatoes, small (see photo, amount is approx.)
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 420 deg F/210 deg C (to start with).
  • Line a smallish oven dish with pastry, rolled out thinly. I used a rectangular dish. If you prefer, beat an extra egg and paint the pastry with egg, for a golden colour after baking.Keep pastry cold at all times, so put into fridge while you continue.
  • In a bowl, mix together everything except the small tomatoes. My cream cheese was very firm and cold still, so I used an electric beater for quite a while to get the mixture to be smooth.
  • Although fresh basil is plentiful, I felt that dried basil stood up better to oven heat than fresh basil.
  • Take the pastry-lined dish from fridge, and spoon in the cream cheese mixture.
  • Top neatly with the small tomatoes, and sprinkle over the 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 40 - 45 minutes, until some tomatoes start colouring, then wrinkle, and the cream cheese base puffs up. It will sink again as it cools.
  • Lovely side dish with fried chicken pieces.
