HEIRLOOM TOMATOES WITH HERBED RICOTTA
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, scallions, dill, chives, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside for up to 30 minutes.
- With a small serrated knife, cut the larger tomatoes in wedges through the stem and the smaller tomatoes in half through the stem. Place them in a medium bowl with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
- When ready to serve, add the basil to the tomatoes and combine. Pile the ricotta in a large (12-inch) round shallow bowl or oval platter. Using a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes around the ricotta, discarding any liquid. Drizzle the tomatoes and ricotta with olive oil, sprinkle with the reserved basil and fleur de sel, and serve at room temperature.
- Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
- Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
- Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.

Steps:
- Make the dough: In the bowl of a mixer, blend the flour, sugar, and lemon zest at low speed. Add the butter and continue blending at low speed until the mixture is coarse and sandy-looking. Add the egg mixture and blend just until the mixture comes together. Form into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out to a rough circle, about 14 to 15 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. All around the edge of the crust, fold in the outer half-inch to form a rough, "rustic" edge to the tart.
- Filling: In a small mixing bowl whisk together the ricotta, egg white, sugar, and lemon zest. Using a rubber spatula, gently spread the ricotta filling over the bottom of the tart. Then arrange the tomato halves in concentric circles, cut side up, over the ricotta. Drizzle the honey over.
- With a pastry brush, brush the tart edge with milk. Sprinkle it with coarse sugar. Bake until fruit is tender and the underside of the tart is browned, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the puff pastry to a 14-by-11-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Trim any rough edges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. With a paring knife or pizza cutter, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges, taking care not to cut all the way through. Prick the center all over with a fork. Use the back of a paring knife to score diagonal ridges on the crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling and tomatoes.
- Thinly slice the tomatoes (slightly less than 1/4 inch). Arrange the slices in a single layer on a double layer of paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let drain 15 minutes.
- For the filling, beat one of the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, lemon zest, garlic and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Beat the remaining egg and brush over the pastry. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan inside the border. Then spread the ricotta filling inside the border. Pat the tomatoes dry and arrange in one layer over the filling and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until the crust is puffed and deep golden brown and the ricotta is set under the tomatoes, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack at least 10 minutes.
- Brush the tomatoes lightly with olive oil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the entire tart, sprinkle with the mint and cut into squares.

Steps:
- For the crust: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the pie crust on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes until lightly golden. Cool for 20 minutes.
- For the pesto: In a blender or food processor, pulse the basil, pine nuts, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture forms a smooth and thick consistency. Add the Parmesan and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using a spatula, spread the pesto over the cooled crust. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the pesto and garnish with the sliced basil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Cut the tart into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- Make pastry:
- Blend together flour, butter, shortening, parmesan, pepper, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size lumps. Drizzle 2 tablespoons ice water over and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in food processor) until incorporated.
- Gently squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together without falling apart, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) after each addition until incorporated, continuing to test. (Do not overwork dough, or it will become tough.)
- Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 2 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather both portions of dough into 1 ball, then pat into a disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable rim. Roll rolling pin over top of pan to trim dough flush with rim. Lightly prick tart shell all over with a fork.
- Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or rice. Bake in middle of oven 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake until golden, about 15 minutes more. Cool in pan on a rack.
- Fill tart shell:
- Remove side of pan and slide shell onto a platter. Arrange one third of mozzarella in bottom of shell and drizzle with one third of pesto. Arrange one third of tomato slices, overlapping, on top of cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering twice.

Steps:
- Combine the cashews and warm water in a medium bowl. Cover and soak for 3 hours, then drain, discarding the soaking water.
- Make the ricotta: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the whole basil leaves, spinach, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the kosher salt. Process for 30 seconds, until all of the leaves are broken down into a dark green paste.
- Add the soaked cashews and cold water. Blend for 15-30 seconds, until the cashews are broken down but the mixture is not completely smooth, resembling the texture of ricotta. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a 13x18-inch (33x45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the stems from the tomatoes, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick rounds.
- Unroll the filo dough into a flat sheet. Carefully transfer a single layer of dough to the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush all over with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat stacking and brushing with the remaining sheets of dough. Brush the edges of the filo dough with more olive oil to make sure they become golden brown and crispy when baking.
- Dollop the ricotta over the top layer of filo and spread in an even layer, being careful not to tear the dough.
- Layer the tomato slices over the ricotta, covering entirely. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the tomatoes. Top with the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the filo dough are golden brown and the tomatoes are cooked but not mushy.
- Garnish with the thinly sliced basil and flaky sea salt, then slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART
Heirloom tomatoes may seem flawed, but it's actually their uniformly red counterparts who are the genetic deviants of the tomato family. Decades ago, many businesses decided to prioritize cookie-cutter-like hybrid tomatoes, which grow year-round and can survive a long, bumpy journey. It left heirloom tomatoes on the wrong side of the deal. The varieties that remain have a shorter shelf life and are relegated to just a few months of summer, but they're sweeter with a more robust flavor. This tart celebrates juicy, vibrant tomatoes in a cheesy, herby, custard-filled, flaky crust, with each bite punctuated with pesto.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fit the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch tart pan, allowing the edges to rise about 1/4 inch above the rim of the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
- Line the dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes until beginning to brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil and weights. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a colander to drain excess tomato liquid for 20 minutes.
- Spread 1/4 cup pesto in an even layer over the parbaked tart crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the pesto. Sprinkle the fresh basil and oregano over the cheese.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the custard: Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper until combined.
- Place the sliced tomatoes evenly over the cheese and herbs in overlapping concentric circles.
- Pour the custard evenly over the tomato slices. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the liquid. Bake until the filling is set and won't jiggle when shaken, about 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. This tart can also be served at room temperature.
