Tomatoes are in season here, and while they are delicious in everything we&#8217;ve had them in &#8212; soups, sauces, Middle Eastern stews, salads &#8212; I was craving something particular.<\/p>\n<p>Supper is not usually my arena. I&#8217;m the baker of desserts and occasionally breakfasts, but usually dinnertime fare falls to Rudi. But since this was my plan, and since a tomato tart is not especially dissimilar to a tarte tatin or a fruit pie, it seemed perfectly plausible that I could make this myself.<\/p>\n<p>I found this <em>Bon Appetit<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/story\/never-fail-tomato-tart\">article<\/a>, which led to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/recipe\/tomato-lemon-tart\">recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On half of the tart, I used a tomato left over in the fridge from the bulk buy a few weeks ago. I figured since it was being cooked it was fine. On the other half went mostly cherry tomatoes from our garden.<\/p>\n<p>I used the recipe as a jumping off place, but I made some changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I pricked the pastry in more than a few places. The dough looked like it had been pierced by a horror film villain.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I used already minced garlic we buy by the jar. We had cloves, but it seemed an easy substitution.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I omitted the lemon altogether. The article&#8217;s author said she cuts back on them when she makes the dish. Commenters on the recipe didn&#8217;t like the lemons, probably because they cut them too thick. I didn&#8217;t want to wash the mandoline, use it, and then wash it again, so it seemed easiest to skip them.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I did not leave space between my tomatoes, which also were definitely sliced skinnier than a quarter inch. I also overlapped some of them, particularly on the fridge tomato side, where I added some garden tomatoes in case it tasted terrible. In the end, I used one giant beefsteak-sized tomato and about two dozen cherries.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I used a mix of basil, rosemary, and oregano from my garden. It was not a cup&#8217;s worth &#8212; probably closer to a scant handful combined. And I put it on top of the tomatoes, rather than beneath them.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I skipped the final tablespoon of olive oil on top. Commenters felt the finished product was too soggy, so I thought pooling liquid on top seemed like a silly idea. Had I been using drier tomatoes, I might have considered using our olive oil mister as a finishing touch.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I also skipped the cr\u00c3\u00a8me fra\u00c3\u00aeche, because I didn&#8217;t have any and it just sounded weird.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Instead I diced half a bar of feta and sprinkled that on the finished tart after I sliced it. It was an inspired addition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/48610472397\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Supper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48610472397_93c530181e.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Supper\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Rudi and I agreed that if we used larger tomatoes than cherries that the prep time would be sped up considerably, but that otherwise it was a completely delicious success!<\/p>\n<p>Hooray for hankerings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For several days, a tomato tart has been taking up space in my brain.
