There’s the crust that is buttery and flaky, but also contains enough shortening to make it stand up to blind baking. Guess I should wake up early more often! It’s really such a simple recipe, but the combination of ingredients is so satisfying. Justin wanted the recipe immediately (remember I winged it because I was sleep walking), so I made it again paying closer attention to the ingredients. Totally worth the effort because Justin and Kevin both loved it despite not being tomato fans. But it wasn’t too hard for this night owl. Hahaha…but I’m not joking! The filling is so easy you could literally make it in your sleep…but you do have to chop the chives and slice the tomatoes. It’s nice because while the crust blind baked I drank enough coffee to safely use a knife. I made the dough the night before so I could catch a few extra zzzzzs in the morning then whipped up the filling sans recipe in the AM. So, I totally winged this heirloom tomato tart made with chives and tomatoes from my garden. You know Justin has to be awesome to get this special treatment (ladies, he’s single -) But just cause I’m up doesn’t mean I’m awake. So nightowl meets morning is a sleepy haze. He stays up late to play board games with me and Kevin, and I get up my butt early to make him breakfast (upon reading that last sentence I realized I flip flopped the words around PA Dutch style…not fixing it #sorrynotsorry #lovemyPAroots). Like wake up at dawn and drink decaf coffee morning person… So when Justin comes to visit, we both have to give a little. He always recommends the best books, makes me laugh, knows the best gastro pubs throughout my home state of Pennsylvania… and really the only thing I can say bad about him is that he’s a morning person. I have seriously zero ability to be funny but Justin has the best sense of humor.īut we do have things in common too, like a love of photography, cooking, and nature. He’s a beer connoisseur while I can only stomach a shandy. He’s easy going while I’m constantly stressed out.
HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART HOW TO
What can I say about Justin? He’s one of my oldest friends… he taught me how to drive, hosted of all the best parties of my youth, was the man of honor at my wedding (because I can only manage to be so traditional) and has continued to be one of my favorite people as I’ve gotten*ahem* older. I usually opt for things I can make ahead like zucchini bread or granola or simply make a smoothie. But my friend Justin came for a weekend in July. I rarely find any reason to be awake early enough to make breakfast. If you’re a regular follower of the blog, you know I’m not a morning person.
It has a simple cream cheese filling with chives and lemon zest that gets topped with juicy ripe tomatoes. You’ll love how easy it is to make this heirloom tomato tart.
