Tomato tart with poppy seed crust and goat cheese – buttery poppy seed and thyme crust, colorful cherry and kumata tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese
It’s been quite a while since I shared a savory dish, a couple of months, since my version of rice and beans and a year since I last shared my favorite cherry tomatoes quiche recipe, but this Tomato tart with poppy-seed crust is worth breaking my pattern of bread and sweets.
Would you like to see more savory dishes here?
As you might imagine it all started with a trip to the Farmers Market where I found some beautiful and colorful cherry and kumato tomatoes.
If you have never had Kumato tomatoes, let me tell you they have a dark red-brown color and are sweeter than regular tomatoes.
Usually I’d just pop them in my mouth one by one every time I’d open the fridge but this time was different, I just wanted something different.
I remembered a while back I made a cheese tomato tart from a cookbook I bought from my trip to Hilton Head and the crust was so good I could have eaten it alone.
The poppy seeds were a nice touch to the buttery crust. You know, the secret to the perfect tart crust is the chilled butter.
I usually take it out of the fridge, cut it into cubes and put it back in the fridge for another hour or so.
Makes such a big difference. Also, always use icy-cold water and don’t forget to chill the dough before baking it.
I baked my tart in a 12X4 inch tart pan but you can use a regular 9 inch round pie pan or make individual tarts in mini pans or using a cupcake pan.
Either way, bake this tomato tart before the summer’s end.
