Cherry Tomato And Vegemite Tarts Recipes

TOMATO AND CHEDDAR TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Unroll 1 pie dough into a round. Arrange three 4 1/4-inch nonstick tartlet pans on the dough and use a paring knife to cut a circle of dough around each that is about 1/2 inch larger than the pan; these don't have to be perfect, but you want to make sure you cut enough excess dough to fill the pan and up the sides. Press the dough evenly into each pan; if any excess dough goes over the top, simply use the top edge of the tartlet pan to cut it away. Use a fork to dock the bottom of the pie crusts. Repeat this process with 3 more tartlet pans and the remaining pie dough. Place the 6 tartlet pans on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Let the tomatoes sit for 10 to 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.
• Bake the crusts until the dough is cooked part of the way through without any color and bubbles form on the bottom and sides, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• To each tartlet, add about 3 tablespoons of grated Cheddar and spread evenly over the bottom. Top the cheese in each with 8 tomato halves cut-side up, making sure to get some garlic with each tomato. Bake until the crusts are golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the tomatoes are softened but have not burst, about 30 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the tart pans and garnish with small basil leaves.
• These tartlets can be stored in the refrigerator after they have cooled completely and reheated in the oven the next day for great leftovers!

CHERRY TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the pie crust in a pie pan, then trim and crimp the edges. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until it has started to harden. Remove it from the oven and cool.
• Place a skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the onions have browned. Add the onion mixture to the pie crust. Sprinkle 2/3 of the Parmesan cheese on top of the pie crust and then add the cherry tomatoes on top. Make sure the cherry tomatoes really fill the pie: err on the side of overfilling rather than underfilling. They will settle as they bake. Sprinkle the thyme, the remaining Parmesan cheese and the salt on top.
• Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes start to brown and pop a little bit. Remove from the oven, garnish with additional thyme and cool before serving. Do note that this dish starts to fall apart once you begin cutting, so try to serve it all at once if possible.
• Stir together the flour, salt and sugar. Add in the butter using two knives or a spoon, but try not to use your hands too much because you want the mixture to stay as cool as possible. You can also combine the dry ingredients with the butter in a food processor, using the pulse setting. The objective is to get the butter incorporated with the flour, creating pea-size pieces.
• Slowly add in the water and mix until it just comes together as a dough. The amount varies depending on the type of flour and butter you use; it may take more or less liquid to bring together. Dump the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, press together in a round, wrap well and chill for at least an hour.
• To roll out, flour a work surface well and divide the dough in half. Using a rolling pin (or an empty wine bottle if you don't have one), roll out each half into a 1/8-inch-thick round, creating two crusts. The crusts are now ready to be used.

CHERRY TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Roll out pie dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Gently transfer dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; press to fit snugly. Trim dough so there's 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Gently fold edges of dough under to create a slight lip of dough over the top of the pan on all sides.
• Prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork, being sure to not puncture all the way through. Place the prepared crust into the freezer until completely chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until golden brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Mix Gouda, basil, mayonnaise, Cheddar, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, oregano, pepper, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled onion and garlic until completely combined.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove tart pan from the freezer. Gently spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom. Place cherry tomatoes evenly over the top and gently press down. Place tart on a large baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, cheeses are bubbly, and most of the tomatoes have burst, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Gently remove the tart from the pan and place on a serving platter. Serve warm.

CHERRY TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-by 1 1/3-inch tart ring; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a round about 1/16-inch-thick. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into prepared tart ring, pressing it into the edges. Trim even with top of ring. Gently prick the bottom of tart with the tines of a fork. Chill tart shell until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Line tart dough with parchment paper, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove tart from ring and transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
• Meanwhile, cook rice in boiling salted water for 18 minutes. Drain rice and run under cold water; drain again. Pour rice into a large bowl along with mustard and heavy cream; mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Spread mixture into cooled tart shell. Top rice with cherry tomatoes and sprinkle over basil leaves. Season with Maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; serve immediately.

CHERRY TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Make the pie crust. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and using the tips of your fingers, work in the butter and the olive oil. Add the egg yolk, salt and water and mix together until the dough forms a ball (do not overwork the dough). Refrigerate for one hour.
• Roll out the dough and fit it into a 10-inch pie shell. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the filling. Combine the goat cheese and heavy cream in a saucepan and melt the cheese over moderate heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Beat in the egg yolks with the garlic.
• Prebake the crust for five minutes. Pour in the goat-cheese mixture and bake until it is set (about 10 minutes). Remove from the oven and turn the heat up to 375 degrees.
• While the tart is still warm, arrange the tomatoes, alternating the colors, onto the custard. Sprinkle them with olive oil, rosemary, thyme and coarse salt and pepper. Put the tart back in the oven until the tomatoes are wrinkled (about 10 minutes). Cool and serve at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

CHERRY TOMATO AND CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and frozen butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vinegar and ice water and pulse again until mixture comes together in clumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Wrap dough up in plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
• Combine goat cheese, egg yolk, kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and basil in a bowl. Mix using a spatula until smooth and soft.
• Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle top with flour. Roll out into 1/8-inch-thick circle, about 13 inches in diameter. Roll dough over the rolling pin and transfer onto a 12-inch pizza pan; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
• Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the dough and spread evenly, leaving about 1 1/2-inch space on the sides. Place tomato mixture on top of cheese using a slotted spoon. Fold excess dough up and over tomatoes, creating a pleat every 3 inches or so by gently pressing and folding.
• Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl; brush over crust. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over galette.
• Place a foil-lined pan on the rack under galette to catch any possible drips. Bake in the preheated oven until well browned on bottom and top, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil and sea salt. Serve room temperature or chilled.
