I got a bit creative this weekend and made a tomato tart......I received this wonderful tart/quiche pan from CSN Stores that really needed to be tried again. It has the removeable bottom and made by the Kaiser brand.
I have been seeing Tomato Tart recipes in many magazines including the food network so with all the fresh tomatoes around now, I felt the need to try it.
I can't begin to tell you how good this was! The flavor was amazing.....we put fresh mozzarella cheese mixed with fontina cheese on the bottom.....then carmelized onions with some pieces of bacon.....not a whole lot just a bit for some flavor ........
then layered the tomatoes and on top some fresh parmeson cheese mixed with panko breadcrumbs....then a drizzle of olive oil and in the oven it went. The house smelled amazing! I cannot thank CSN Stores enough for this great item and every baker should have one of these pans in their kitchen.
this is such a great summer recipe or any time really with a nice salad...you are having one tasty dinner!!
Here is the recipe from Food Network's website:
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade dough for tart shell
- 8 to 10 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus extra for garnish
- 4 to 6 plum tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch
