The Key Ingredients for this Mediterranean Tomato Tart

To create this flavourful tomato tart, choosing the right ingredients is essential. Here are the key components:

1. Tomatoes: Fresh, ripe tomatoes are the star of the show. Opt for vine-ripened varieties for their intense flavour and vibrant colour. Slicing them evenly ensures even cooking.
2. Pastry Base: A pre-made puff pastry provides a flaky, golden crust that is both convenient and delicious. For a homemade touch, you can prepare your own shortcrust pastry.
3. Dijon Mustard: Essential to provide a subtle kick that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes.
4. Semolina or Breadcrumbs: To absorb the tomato juices and prevent the crust to become soggy.
5. Herbes de Provence: Fragrant herbes de Provence are essential to bring an authentic and fragrant depth to this tart.
6. Olive Oil: A drizzle of quality olive oil infuses the tart with rich undertones.

Serving Suggestions

This tomato tart is a wonderful dish to serve warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a crisp green salad for a light meal or as part of a larger Mediterranean-inspired feast.

Tomato Tart Variations

Whole-Grain Crust: For a healthier twist, use a whole-grain or gluten-free pastry.

Pesto or Tapenade Base: Instead of mustard why not spread a layer of basil or sun-dried tomato pesto or even some tapenade.
