Today’s inspiration..! French Cuisine. A simple tomato and mustard tart.A few years ago, I discovered in France savory tart “Tarte à la tomate”. I fell in love with it. The French tart is basically made with red tomatoes, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs. The base is the classic Pâte Brisée. Savory tart, side dish.
There are a lot of variations to this tart. some recipes include tuna others add zucchini, etc.
I will keep it simple, using Pâte Brisée ready-made and few fresh ingredients.
What are the main ingredientes for the tomato and mustard tart ?
1) Ripe tomatoes. Different varieties of tomatoes offer a more complex flavor.
2) Grated cheese. My choice was a mix of grated Comté + Emmental (French cheeses).
3) Red onion rings.
4) Dijon Mustard
5) Pâte Brisée
6) Fresh Thyme
¿How to assemble the tomato and mustard tart?
Preparing this tart was so easy that while my daughter was assembling the tart I was shooting all the process.
Let’s begin: Unroll the Pâte Brisée (ready-made) @marie_officiel on the tart mold, and add a layer of Dijon mustard, my favorite is @maisonmaille @maillearabia , but, feel free to use the one available in your pantry.
Add the grated cheese. I placed the first layer of the tomato slices. Then a second layer with Onion Rings.
Cover the onions with a second layer of tomatoes, to protect them from being burned in the oven. Add fresh thyme, a pinch of salt, and drizzle with olive oil on top.
Bake until golden brown and the tomatoes are cooked. If the Pâte Brisée is golden brown and the tomatoes are not cooked. Cover with tin foil and bake for extra time.
