Heirloom Tomato Tart With Vegan Basil Ricotta Recipe By Tasty Recipes

HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fit the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch tart pan, allowing the edges to rise about 1/4 inch above the rim of the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
• Line the dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes until beginning to brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil and weights. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a colander to drain excess tomato liquid for 20 minutes.
• Spread 1/4 cup pesto in an even layer over the parbaked tart crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the pesto. Sprinkle the fresh basil and oregano over the cheese.
• In a medium bowl, prepare the custard: Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper until combined.
• Place the sliced tomatoes evenly over the cheese and herbs in overlapping concentric circles.
• Pour the custard evenly over the tomato slices. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the liquid. Bake until the filling is set and won't jiggle when shaken, about 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. This tart can also be served at room temperature.

HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART WITH RICOTTA AND BASIL RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and cover baking sheet with parchment paper. On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry to 9x13-inch rectangle. Transfer puff pastry to baking sheet and prick with fork. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on cooling rack. Thinly slice tomatoes and lay out on paper towels to absorb some liquid. Lay paper towels on top, and gently press to absorb additional moisture. In medium bowl, stir together ricotta and olive oil until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Spread ricotta mixture over cooled puff pastry, leaving 1/2-inch border on edges. Arrange tomatoes on top (varying color and size) and sprinkle with basil. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Cut into 6 squares.
