ANNA'S TOMATO TART

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, 1/2-inch-diced
2 cold extra-large egg yolks
1/2 cup ice water
2 1/2 pounds dried beans, for baking the crust (optional)
2 1/2 pounds firm medium (2 1/2-inch) tomatoes, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup whole fresh parsley leaves, lightly packed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
3 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 pound grated Gruyere cheese (1 pound with rind)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Choose Ripe, Flavorful Tomatoes: Select ripe, juicy tomatoes with deep red color for the freshest and most flavorful tart.
  • Use Fresh Basil: Fresh basil leaves are essential for adding vibrant flavor to the tart. Use plenty of basil for a bold, aromatic taste.
  • Prep Your Vegetables: Before assembling the tart, make sure to thinly slice the tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves for even distribution and cooking.
  • Use a Quality Pie Crust: Whether you're using a homemade or store-bought pie crust, make sure it's well-chilled before baking to prevent shrinking and ensure a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overbake: Keep an eye on the tart while it's baking to prevent overbaking. The crust should be golden brown and the tomatoes should be slightly softened but still hold their shape.
