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.
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.

Tomatoes and cheese! OMG, heaven! I'm so jealous of all of your fresh tomatoes! This sounds delicious (or tasty and terrific!).
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen.
DeleteI have three volunteer cherry tomatoes that are just fruiting and still green, I wonder if they will ripen in time to try this out!
ReplyDeleteI hope so Kelly. It was a great way to use them.
DeleteWhat a delicious tart with tomato & cheese!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sneha.
DeleteDefinitely tempting! I love how this doesn't have mayo like so many tomato tarts do. I need to hit the farm!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than garden fresh tomatoes.
DeleteSuch a yummy way to use up extra tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Lisa.
DeleteLucky 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!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Colleen.
