Tomato Tart
SERVES 6 to 8
Ingredients
- 1 sheet prepared puff pastry
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 pound Prosciutto di Parma or Speck alto Adige, diced
- 1 large leek, white bulb only, chopped
- 2 cups Asiago cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup each minced basil and tarragon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1-1/2 cups yellow cherry tomatoes
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Roll the pastry to fit a 9 or 10 inch pie or tart pan or rectangular half sheet pan; refrigerate.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a sauté pan and cook the prosciutto or speck until lightly brown; transfer to a bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the pan and cook the leeks until soft; transfer to the bowl with the prosciutto
- Spread the cheese over the chilled puff pastry. Sprinkle the meat and leek mixture over the cheese.
- In a small bowl combine the basil, tarragon and just enough olive oil to make a paste. Stir in the salt.
- Arrange the tomatoes on the cheese making sure to fill in any gaps. Dab small amounts of the herb mixture between the tomatoes.
- Bake until tart is puffed and golden brown and tomatoes have collapsed a bit, about 20 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting in wedges.

Can this be made ahead

Does the puff pastry stay flaky on the bottom of the tart?
Thank You!

This is a wonderful recipe. I’ve made it three times recently using the tomatoes and basil from my garden. Twice I’ve made it with ham, diced very small, as I am not a big fan of prosciutto. The third time, I left the ham out altogether because I was serving it to a friend who is a vegetarian. I just added extra leeks to fill in where the ham was left out. It’s lovely served with a simple salad and a glass of wine!

Made this recipe the 2nd time today but didn’t have garden tomatoes. Used salame with red wine & garlic. Couldn’t find that meat she used – maybe in a specialty Italian store. It was still delicious.
