Ingredients

Tart Crust Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cold butter diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water
1 egg

Tomato Tart Ingredients:

4 ounces Boursin cheese or other spreadable herb and garlic cheese
1 - 2 heirloom tomatoes sliced 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
parsley chopped
basil chopped

Instructions

Make the crust. Pulse flour, butter, salt and ice water together in a food processor until they start to come together. Mixture will be very crumbly but should hold together if you squeeze it with your hands.
Place mixture on plastic wrap and press togehter to form a ball of dough. Wrap and gently flatten. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove from plastic wrap and press dough into tart pan. Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to trim any excess crust from the pan.
Place aluminum foil (or parchment paper) on top of the crust and top with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes.
Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
Remove the aluminum foil and pie weights. Prick the tart crust with a fork and brush with egg wash. Bake for another 2 – 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Spread cheese on baked tart crust. Arrange tomatoes in a (mostly) single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened and the crust is brown.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with basil and parsley. Serve.

Notes

Depending on the size of your heirloom tomatoes you'll need 1 - 2. I used two: 1 green and 1 red.

Arrange the tomatoes in any way that they will fit. Some overlapping is ok. I like to nestle the halved cherry tomatoes in the little spaces between the larger tomatoes.
