Steps:
- to make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and butter. Using two forks or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter resembles oat flakes or tiny peas. Add the egg and use a fork to combine the flour mixture with the egg. Dump the mixture out onto a floured surface. Work the dough until it starts to hold together. The dough is a little tougher than your average when working with it, don't be alarmed. If you're making individual tarts roll the dough out, place the individual tart pans on the dough and cut a circle 11/2 - 2 inches larger than your pan, rework leftover dough as necessary to form more tarts. If you're using a 9-inch tart pan, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough at the base of the pan, work out any air bubbles, crimp edges. Refrigerate the tart-shell(s) for 10 minutes while you prepare the tart filling.
- For the tart filling: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.In a medium bowl, combine the egg, heavy cream, milk, 4 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined. Fold in the goat cheese. Divide filling into tartshell(s). Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Place the tart pan(s) on a baking tray and bake for 24 - 27 minutes for individual tarts and 30 - 35 minutes for large tart. For a darker crust, bake an additional 1-2 minutes. Let cool 10 - 15 minutes before serving.
BASIL TOMATO TART
I received this tomato tart recipe from a good friend of mine. It is a great way to us up fresh tomatoes from the garden. It reminds me a lot of pizza.-Connie Stumpf, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

ANNA'S TOMATO TART
Steps:
- Place the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, until the butter is the size of peas. Add the egg yolks and pulse a few times to combine. With the motor running, add the ice water through the feed tube and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a floured board and roll it into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Meanwhile, place the tomatoes in a large bowl. Put the parsley, basil, garlic, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely minced. With the processor running, pour the olive oil down the feed tube and process until combined. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes and toss gently. Set aside.
- On a well-floured board, roll the dough out to an 11 x 17-inch rectangle and transfer it to the prepared sheet pan. Don't worry if it doesn't fit exactly; you want it to cover most of the bottom of the pan but it can be a little rough on the sides. Place a second sheet pan directly on the pastry and bake for 15 minutes. (You can also line the pastry with foil and fill it with dried beans.) Remove the top sheet pan (or the beans and foil). Using a dinner fork, pierce the pastry in many places. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Check the pastry during baking; pierce any spots that bubble up. Allow the crust to cool for 15 minutes.
- Lower the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the mustard on the crust with a pastry brush. Sprinkle a thick even layer of Gruyere on the pastry, reserving 1/2 cup for the top, and sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Place overlapping tomatoes in rows on top. If there is a little garlic and herb mixture in the bowl, sprinkle it over the tomatoes, but if there is liquid in the bowl, strain it through a very-fine-mesh strainer, discard the liquid, and sprinkle the garlic and herb mixture on the tomatoes. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of Gruyere and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unroll 1 pie dough into a round. Arrange three 4 1/4-inch nonstick tartlet pans on the dough and use a paring knife to cut a circle of dough around each that is about 1/2 inch larger than the pan; these don't have to be perfect, but you want to make sure you cut enough excess dough to fill the pan and up the sides. Press the dough evenly into each pan; if any excess dough goes over the top, simply use the top edge of the tartlet pan to cut it away. Use a fork to dock the bottom of the pie crusts. Repeat this process with 3 more tartlet pans and the remaining pie dough. Place the 6 tartlet pans on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Let the tomatoes sit for 10 to 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.
- Bake the crusts until the dough is cooked part of the way through without any color and bubbles form on the bottom and sides, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- To each tartlet, add about 3 tablespoons of grated Cheddar and spread evenly over the bottom. Top the cheese in each with 8 tomato halves cut-side up, making sure to get some garlic with each tomato. Bake until the crusts are golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the tomatoes are softened but have not burst, about 30 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the tart pans and garnish with small basil leaves.
- These tartlets can be stored in the refrigerator after they have cooled completely and reheated in the oven the next day for great leftovers!
TOMATO BASIL TARTLETS
These are such great little appetizers, especially with fresh tomatoes and basil in season right now. The recipe calls for fontina cheese, but I have used freshly grated parmesan with good results as well. The trick of laying another baking sheet over the dough while they bake really makes them crisp. This is adapted from Food Network, hope you enjoy.
