Ingredients
Serve warm as a first course, a light dinner
or cover lightly
and transport to your favorite Wine Country
picnic spot. This
delicate tart is best made and eaten the same
day.
4 oz. soft goat cheese (in our Deli)
1 tbsp. minced shallots
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1 refrigerated pie crust
2 medium heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced*
1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (in
our Deli)
Directions
Prep time: 15 minutes, Cook time: 35 minutes
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Mix together goat cheese, shallots and thyme in a small bowl. Press pie crust dough onto bottom and sides of pan. Prick bottom with the tines of a fork and bake for 15 minutes; spread goat cheese mixture over the bottom of the crust, then top with tomato slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 6 to 8 first course servings or 4 main course servings.
*It's OK to substitute regular tomatoes in this recipe, too.
Tip: A serrated knife is the right choice when slicing tomatoes.
Wine Suggestion
Bonterra Chardonnay -
This tangy tart would partner well with a Sauvignon Blanc, but we also like it with this creamy Chardonnay made with organic grapes.

EXCELLENT! Made at end of August using Heirloom tomatoes. Very easy, colorful and wonderful flavor. Definite keeper and will make again. Serves and saves well.
