Roasted Tomato & Basil Tart

Savory tarts are an all in one meal. Eggs, milk, and cheese come together in a flaky crust to create a delicious meal served warm or at room temperature. You can customize them to be perfect for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. This Tart recipe combines two ingredients that were meant for each other: Tomatoes & Basil. What could possibly go wrong with this?
Delicious Rating: I rated this for a master chef just because of the crust. Homemade crust takes time to perfect although it can be a simple thing for most people. The tart smells delicious while baking but the taste didn’t take a stand when served. It was just Okay, not delicious. I don’t think I will cook this particular not so easy recipe again. But if this seems like something you may enjoy please cook it and let me know what you thought!
This recipe is from “The Good Housekeeping Step-by-Step Cookbook”, a gift from my Father. I have had this recipe bookmarked for awhile and decided to cook it up for “Bookmarked Recipes”, a great event hosted by Jacqueline from Tinned Tomatoes and Ruth’s Kitchen Experiments as the Challenge founder!

Use a short cut and buy pre-made crust if you prefer.
If you don’t have fresh basil you can use other fresh herbs. Rosemary would be absolutely delicious in this tart.
Next time I make this recipe I think I would go with using cherry tomatoes. They are much more cuter and would add to the presentation.
Enjoy!
