This summery tomato tart is part quiche, part ricotta pie – and wholly delicious! Perfect for dining al fresco, whether lunch, brunch, weekday dinner, or Meatless Monday – the Herbed Heirloom Tomato Tart is summer at its Best!<\/p>\n
Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n First of all this tomato tart makes the most of summer tomatoes. It is at once creamy and luscious with a delicately flaky crust. Plus, it is lightly filling – not too heavy for those dog days of summer. This is the first time I’ve added coconut oil and I think it made the crust even more tender than when made with only butter. The creaminess comes from using ricotta, which is also much lower in sodium than feta or aged cheese.<\/p>\n For us, the fresh flavors of this sunny tart was a welcome departure from the rich multi-course feasts that marked last week’s festivities in China. Our highly anticipated week in Shanghai was bursting with Grand Opening excitement, drama, speeches, interviews, endless discussion about the business climate and future prospects and, after three non-stop days, we were bursting at the seams from one business luncheon after another filled with tables of traditional Chinese hot dishes, dim sum, and desserts. Then a mere four hours later whisked by car (well, actually creeping by car through Shanghai’s gridlock of traffic) to an exuberant three-hour celebratory dinner punctuated with congratulatory toasts. Eventually, our minds were depleted of things or people to congratulate and we were one, as a family in the Chinese tradition, singing “We Are Family” in a private karaoke session and bonding over arm wrestling as Franklin D.Roosevelt looked on (more on this later).<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\nWhat’s Special About This Tomato Tart<\/h2>\n
