Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust
  • 3–4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cheese (mozzarella, goat cheese, or ricotta)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme, basil, or oregano)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp mustard or pesto spread (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Roll out pastry and place into a tart pan or baking sheet, trimming edges if needed.
  3. Prick the base with a fork and spread mustard or pesto if using.

  6. Spread cheese evenly over the pastry base.
  7. Pour egg mixture over the cheese.
  8. Arrange tomato slices evenly on top.
  9. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs.

Notes

  • Use heirloom tomatoes for a colorful presentation.
  • Add caramelized onions for extra sweetness.
  • Include spinach or zucchini for more vegetables.
  • Use milk instead of cream for a lighter option.
  • Reheat in the oven to keep the crust crisp.
