This tomato and basil tart is a real treat for summer days, highlighting Mediterranean flavors. Its homemade crust, thin and crispy, holds beautiful slices of juicy tomatoes flavored with fresh basil. A creamy filling made with eggs and mozzarella brings everything together, while a hint of mustard adds a tangy touch that pairs perfectly with these summer vegetables.

Yields6 Servings
Shortcrust pastry
 150 Flour
 130 Heavy whipping cream
 1 pinch Salt
Garnish
 8 Tomato
 12 Basil
 3 Egg
 1 Mustard
 100 Grated mozzarella
 Salt
 Pepper
 Dried oregano
Directions
1

Shortcrust pastry: in a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, first with a spoon, then by hand, to form a ball of dough. If it is a bit sticky, sprinkle it with flour and work it a little more. Roll it out on a work surface or on a floured silicone mat, then line the previously buttered and floured mold.

2

Wash the tomatoes and dry them. Cut them into slices and remove the seeds. Arrange them harmoniously on the tart crust, overlapping them. Chop the basil and sprinkle it over the tomatoes.

3

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, mustard, salt, pepper, and two pinches of oregano. Distribute the mixture over the tomatoes. Cover everything with grated mozzarella.

4

To finish, preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the tart for about 40 minutes, until it is nicely golden.

    Very flavorful This recipe is really nice with the basil being prominent. It changes from the classic tomato tarts. Excellent with a green salad for dinner.

    Delicious! A great recipe to get men to eat vegetables! My suggestion: Since I only had 3 tomatoes, I filled in with a zucchini, some mushrooms, and a bit of red bell pepper. No oregano, so I replaced it with herbs and a bit of cumin. No mozzarella either, so I used grated cheese and pieces of melting cheese, yum... And I forgot the basil, but the result was really fantastic. Thank you for the recipe, I'll make it again!

    Super good It's very good and very simple to make. Being forgetful, I mixed the mozzarella with the preparation, but it was still very good.

    Tomato and Basil Tart I made it this weekend, for the first time, while hosting my daughter-in-law and son-in-law... I didn’t hesitate to use them as taste testers because just reading the recipe, I knew it would be very good! My daughter-in-law took the recipe from me! My suggestion: Nothing to change: it’s all excellent!

    Excellent! It's very light for a meatless meal, or it can accompany meat. Really very good. My suggestion: I bought pre-made pastry, so the recipe was quick to make.
