The tart was beautiful, but it didn't taste as good as it looked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I substituted oregano instead. It turned out great!

The tart was a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a delicious and easy recipe.
