T is for Tomato

This delicious meatless dinner is as easy as pie.  Cherry tomatoes tossed in olive oil and seasonings are combined with two different cheeses before being placed into a pie shell for baking.

Tomato Tart

T is for Tomatoes and for Tarts.  This one is Terrific, Tempting and Tasty.......

We are working our way through the alphabet this year, one letter every other Wednesday, making a recipe that either starts with the letter or contains a main ingredient that begins with the letter.  This week's letter is T.

Let's see what other Tremendous dishes are being served today.......


Tomato Tart

My neighbor's tomatoes were prolific this year and they generously provided me with fresh bounty all season long.  I must have had a gallon of cherry tomatoes on my counter.  We ate them like candy, added them to salads, and tossed them in stir-fries.  When the fruit flies started visiting I needed to use up the rest so I made this scrumptious tart.



Tomato Tart

This tart is delicious hot from the oven or at room temperature.  I is reminiscent of a meatless pizza pie and perfect for a Vegetarian/Vegan/ Meatless Monday meal.

  6. Lucky you! Our cherry tomatoes did not do so well this year...we just didn't have enough water around here. I didn't let this stop me from buying them at my local farmer's market though. Guess I'll have to pick up some more to make this tart because it sounds and looks YUMMY!
