from: Her Kitchen Addiction
adapted from: TheFramedTable.com
Ingredients:
Tart Shell (Pâte Brisée) *
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 stick Butter, cut into cubes and chilled
1/2 tsp Salt
1 egg
4-5 TB ICE COLD Water
*If you don't want to make Tart crust by hand you can always store buy one.
Tomato Filling
6 medium Tomatoes, Thinly Sliced
(I used Yellow, Red, and Orange Combo but any tomatoes will do and heirlooms would be gorgeous as well!)
8-11 oz. Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes
(Or normal cherry tomatoes)
1 TB Dijon Mustard
1 TB Sour Cream
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
1/4 tsp Dried Basil
1 TB Fresh Basil, Torn
-Preheat Oven to 425 degrees.
-Combine flour, salt and cold butter cubes and mix until it resembles coarse sand texture. (The colder the butter the better. It will help create a super flaky crust!) Make a well in the middle of your flour mixture and add egg and 2 tablespoons of ice cold water and mix until dough comes together. Add 2 more tablespoons of water if needed. Form a dough ball and refrigerate for an hour of freeze it for 15 mins.
-Roll out dough about 3 inches wider than the pan being used then fill fan and press sides down until all in tact. Trim the excess dough and tidy up the edges. Use a fork to poke a few holes into the bottom of the crust to prevent it from bubbling.
-Mix Dijon and Sour Cream together and spread on bottom of tart. It will be A VERY VERY thin layer.
-Next, fill your tart with sliced tomatoes however you choose to arrange them. I like to overlap them in circles.
-Mix together salt, sugar, pepper, paprika, dried basil and oregano, and sprinkle over tomatoes.
-Bake 20 Mins
-Remove tart from oven and arrange cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle torn fresh basil on top and bake for another 20-30 mins (or until crust is golden brown and cherry tomatoes start to blister)
