Servings: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 Tart Crust - homemade to your preference or pre made
Tomato Filling
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • drizzle of olive oil
Herbed Ricotta
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp chopped thyme

Instructions
Prepping the Ingredients
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare your pie crust - either pre-made or to your preference. 

  2. In a bowl combine the ricotta with the garlic, chopped thyme, and plenty of pepper.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with basil and parmesan cheese. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil. 

Assembling the Tart
  1. Fill the base of your pie tart with 1/2 of the ricotta mixture (1 cup). Top with the tomato mixture. On top add the remaining ricotta in large dollops. Pierce the tomatoes with a fork or knife so that they can more easily cook and release liquid earlier on in the process. 

  2. Place your tart in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked. 

  3. Allow to cool slightly and serve!
