This Tomato, Goat Cheese, Ricotta and Basil Tart is fast and easy to put together. Serve it was a crisp salad and a bottle of chilled french rosé for a delectable meal.
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 6 Servings
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
4 ounces soft goat cheese
2 large eggs
⅓ cup fresh basil, chopped
¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ pound assorted tomatoes, sliced
Directions
1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry to a 10- by 15-inch rectangle and transfer it to the baking sheet.
3With a paring knife, score a border 1 inch in from the edge all around the rectangle, cutting into, but not through, the dough. With a fork, prick the dough inside the border all over (this will allow the border to rise higher than the center that's been pricked). Brush the center with 1 tablespoon oil.
4In a large bowl, stir together ricotta, goat cheese, eggs, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Spread mixture over the center of puff pastry sheet. Top with tomatoes, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle tomatoes with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
5Bake 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is set.
