Tomato Tart With Three Cheeses Food

ANNA'S TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Place the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, until the butter is the size of peas. Add the egg yolks and pulse a few times to combine. With the motor running, add the ice water through the feed tube and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a floured board and roll it into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, place the tomatoes in a large bowl. Put the parsley, basil, garlic, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely minced. With the processor running, pour the olive oil down the feed tube and process until combined. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes and toss gently. Set aside.
• On a well-floured board, roll the dough out to an 11 x 17-inch rectangle and transfer it to the prepared sheet pan. Don't worry if it doesn't fit exactly; you want it to cover most of the bottom of the pan but it can be a little rough on the sides. Place a second sheet pan directly on the pastry and bake for 15 minutes. (You can also line the pastry with foil and fill it with dried beans.) Remove the top sheet pan (or the beans and foil). Using a dinner fork, pierce the pastry in many places. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Check the pastry during baking; pierce any spots that bubble up. Allow the crust to cool for 15 minutes.
• Lower the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the mustard on the crust with a pastry brush. Sprinkle a thick even layer of Gruyere on the pastry, reserving 1/2 cup for the top, and sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Place overlapping tomatoes in rows on top. If there is a little garlic and herb mixture in the bowl, sprinkle it over the tomatoes, but if there is liquid in the bowl, strain it through a very-fine-mesh strainer, discard the liquid, and sprinkle the garlic and herb mixture on the tomatoes. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of Gruyere and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
• Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
• Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.

TOMATO TARTS WITH ROASTED GARLIC & GOAT'S CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs and sit on a sheet of foil. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil, season and wrap into a parcel. Roast for 50 mins or until soft, then leave to cool - this can be done the day before.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry into quarters. Roll out each piece and cut into a 14cm-diameter circle. Use a saucer as a guide if you don't have a cutter. Pop the circles on a baking tray and score a 1cm border around the edge of each, being careful not to cut all the way through. Avoiding the border, prick the pastry all over with a fork, then chill.
• Increase oven to 200C/180 fan/gas 6. When the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the flesh from the bulbs into a bowl. Add the mustard, remaining oil and some seasoning, and use a fork to mash to a paste. Spread this over the pastry, leaving the border clear, then top with the tomato halves, skin-side down, and season well.
• Brush the edges of the pastry with egg, crumble over the goat's cheese and bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is golden and crisp, and the tomatoes are starting to shrivel. Remove from the tray and allow to cool to room temperature. Scatter over the basil before serving.

TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Ask a grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soft cheese together with the mustard in a small bowl.
• Cut the tomatoes into thick slices.
• Roll the pastry into a rectangle on a floured surface - don't worry if the edges are uneven. Lift the pastry onto a baking sheet
• Now trim off any really wiggly bits. Mark a border the thickness of two fingers around the edge.
• Spread the soft cheese inside the border, then arrange the tomato slices on top. Decorate with anchovies or olives (if using).
• Grate the Parmesan all over. Ask a grown-up to put the tart in the oven for 30 mins or until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes are cooked.

RUSTIC THREE CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Combine potatoes, onions, garlic powder and 1 cup cheese.
• Place pie crust on baking sheet; spread with potato mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Fold over edge of pastry to partially cover potato mixture.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with chives.

TOMATO & GOAT CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Defrost puff pastry according to package directions.
• Peel, quarter, and thinly slice the onion. Peel and mince garlic.
• Heat 1 T oil in medium sautee pan. Sautee onions and garlic over medium heat until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelize.
• Season onions with salt and pepper, deglaze with wine, and stir in thyme.
• Once the puff pastry is defrosted, unfold it onto a cutting board. Cut 2 6-inch rounds out of defrosted puff pastry. You can use a small plate or saucer and a paring knife for this. Put the puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Score the puff pastry 1/2-inch from edge. This will allow the edge to rise more, creating a crust. The ingredients will go within this circle, leaving the edge empty.
• Sprinkle the grated parmesan within the scored circle. Top with caramelized onions.
• Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle over the onions.
• Slice the tomato in half. Cut 1 thick slice from each half of the tomato (1-inch thick). Place in the center of the tart, over the onions and cheese.
• Drizzle 1-2 T olive oil over the tomatoes to encourage browning.
• Julienne the basil, and sprinkle evenly over the tomato.
• Put a few slices of parmesan on top of each tart and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 425F for 20-25 until golden brown.
