Red and Golden Beet Cheese Tart image

Ricotta, goat cheese, and fontina partner well with beets; their creaminess carries the roots' subtle candied-but-mineral flavor.

Yield Makes one 9-by-13-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 9

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pate Brisee
1 1/2 pounds beets (without greens), preferably a combination of red, golden, and Chioggia
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound fresh goat cheese, room temperature
Scant 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (4 ounces)
2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme, plus about 1 teaspoon whole leaves
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Press firmly into a 13-by-9-inch rimmed baking sheet, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Tuck overhang under to create a double thickness; press firmly against pan. Pierce bottom of shell all over with a fork. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Line shell with parchment; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Keep oven on.)
  • Trim all but 1/2 inch of stems from beets; rinse well. Toss with oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; cover with parchment, then tightly with foil. Roast until beets are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel beets with a paring knife. Cut into thin rounds. Raise heat to 425 degrees.
  • Stir together goat cheese, ricotta, and chopped thyme until well combined; season with pepper. Spread mixture over tart shell, filling all the way to edges.
  • Arrange beets over cheese mixture, overlapping slices slightly and alternating colors, if possible. Lightly season with salt. Sprinkle fontina and whole thyme leaves on top. Lightly drizzle with oil, and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

This tart was a disappointment. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

I wasn't a fan of the crust. It was a bit too dry and crumbly for my taste.

I love the idea of this tart, but I found that the filling was a bit too runny. I think I'll try using less liquid next time.

This tart is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use pre-cooked beets to save time.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this tart. The sweetness of the beets balanced out the tanginess of the goat cheese perfectly.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I love the vibrant colors of the beets and the creamy texture of the goat cheese. The balsamic vinegar adds a nice tangy flavor.

This tart was absolutely delicious! The combination of red and golden beets with the creamy goat cheese and tangy balsamic vinegar was perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this
