Tarte Fine a la Tomate et Moutarde (Thin Tomato and Mustard Tart)
Tarte Fine a la Tomate et Moutarde (Thin Tomato and Mustard Tart) is French home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried herbes de Provence
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Preheat the oven to 400 F, unroll the puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and prick it all over with a fork, leaving a half-inch border unpricked.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the pastry, staying within the border.
- Arrange the tomato slices in slightly overlapping rows over the mustard and scatter the sliced garlic and herbes de Provence on top.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deep golden at the edges and the tomatoes have softened.
- Let the tart rest for 5 minutes before slicing; with a green salad alongside, this thin tart is a genuinely meatless everyday French lunch.
