Tonight I made tart. Mmmm, tart. It was scrummy and *very easy* tart, too. I often make this if I’m having friends round for dinner.
Stuff you’ll need:
- Some puff pastry. You can make it yourself if you really want to but to be honest I never bother. As you’re buying it anyway, you may as well buy the pre-rolled stuff while you’re at it!
- About six medium-sized plum tomatoes.
- Some goat’s cheese - the very soft kind that comes in a tub. Buy the kind that’s flavoured with garlic and herbs if it’s there.
Pre-heat the oven to about 200C.
Unroll the puff pastry onto a baking tray or large casserole dish. Tip all to goat’s cheese into a bowl and stir, mixing in any flavourings and seasonings you fancy - garlic is always good, of course, even if there’s some already there, but then I would say that!
Spread the cheese onto the pastry. I usually use a spoon for this - dollop some on and then use the back of the spoon to smooth it out. Put on as much as you like, really, then get your serrated knife out and chop the tomatoes into slices. Layer them over the top of the goat’s cheese, and add any seasoning you like - I usually add some ground black pepper, salt and dried mixed herbs. I also usually grate some good cheddar on top of it at this point.
Put the tray/dish into the middle of the oven and leave to cook for about 50 mins, checking it every so often.
