ingredients
-
Tart Dough
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons add more as needed extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
-
Tart
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1⁄2 cup grated gruyere cheese
- 4 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices and seeds removed
- 6 ounces camembert cheese, sliced into 1/8-inch strips
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
- 1 small bay leaf, finely crumbled
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
directions
-
To make the tart dough:
- Using a pastry blender(or 2 knives), mix the flour, butter, salt, and pepper until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Using a fork, mix in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the water just until the bottom of the mixture begins to cling together. If necessary, add an additional tablespoon of oil.
- Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll out the chilled dough into a 14-inch circle and place it into a tart pan; set aside.
- Spread the mustard over the bottom of the tart shell. Sprinkle the Gruyère evenly over the mustard and alternately place the tomato and Camembert over the Gruyère.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil, all of the herbs, and the garlic together and brush two-thirds of the mixture over the tart. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 35 minutes.
- Remove the tart and brush it with the remaining oil. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Is the 1/2 cup olive oil for brushing before and after baking correct? That seems like a lot of oil for a 9 inch tart. I would have guessed a 1/4 cup would be more than enough.Reply

LOOKS and sounds delicious! Almost gave it a try. But noticed it is quite high in fat content and cholesterol -presumably due to cheese. Darn that cheese!Reply

Sharon, this is a very, very yummy quiche recipe!!!! It is very easy to make, has such a great, crunchy crust with a mmmmm lovely tasting filling. We especially enjoyed the herb mix! I used 2 tbs fresh basil, 1 heaping ts of dried rosemary and thyme, cause thats all I had on hand. Im sure using all fresh herbs would make it even more outstanding! Due to dietary reasons I used all whole spelt flour in the crust and left out oil, thus needing more water (about 7-8 tbs). The tart baked up beautifully in the given time and looked very springlike and appetising. Ill surely make this again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this treat with us!
