CHEESE, HERB & TOMATO TART

Cheese, Herb & Tomato Tart image

I made this to take to a dinner party. Not only is it easy, it is super yummy and beautiful! Using a tart pan with removable sides make for a nicer presentation. Combing the two cheeses works best, but you can use one or the other. Don't be tempted to add more cheese than suggested, it will be too thick with cheese and changes the outcome, IMO.

4 ounces gouda cheese, shredded

Roll crust to fit a tart pan with removable bottom or in a pinch, use a pie plate.
Brush bottom & sides of crust with mustard.

Bake until pastry is golden, about 30-35 minutes.
Lest rest for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges.
Notes:.

•any spicy stone ground mustard will work.
•I cut the tops off the tomatoes and used a melon baller to scoop out the seeds.
