Cheese, Herb & Tomato Tart

"I made this to take to a dinner party. Not only is it easy, it is super yummy and beautiful! Using a tart pan with removable sides make for a nicer presentation. Combing the two cheeses works best, but you can use one or the other. Don't be tempted to add more cheese than suggested, it will be too thick with cheese and changes the outcome, IMO."

  1. This was absolutely delicious (and gorgeous as well)! I made this exactly as posted, using a removable tart pan, and 3 T. of Dijon (it looked like a lot but it worked out perfectly). This baked for exactly 30 minutes. I served this as an appetizer when entertaining, and it was completely gone. The basil and the thyme were perfect with the tomatoes, and I think the combination of the two cheeses blended nicely. Thanks for sharing this!
