Ingredients

  • 1 Sheet Ready to Bake Puff Pastry
  • 4 - 5 Medium Heirloom Tomatoes
  • 3.5 Ounces Smoked Blue Cheese
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt & Pepper To Taste

Instructions

  1. Lay out the frozen puff pastry sheet on the counter to come to room temperature as you work to prepare all of the other ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  3. While the oven is preheating and the puff pastry is coming to room temperature. Wash and slice the heirloom tomatoes into slices about 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry slightly larger than a 9 inch tart shell. Lightly butter the inside of the tart shell and press the puff pastry into the tart pan. Trim off the excess pastry dough with a knife.
  5. Crumble the smoky blue cheese and spread it evenly into the bottom of the puff pastry.
  6. Starting at the outside layer the tomato slices around the edge, overlapping slightly as you go around. Fill in the middle with tomatoes. Sprinkle tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of fresh black pepper.
  7. In a separate bowl add the 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of whole milk and 1/4 cup heavy cream and whisk until well mixed. Pour egg mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
  8. Place the tart onto a sheet pan and place into the 450 degree over for 20 minutes.
  9. Turn the oven down to 375 and bake until the center is done. This will take approximately an hour.
  10. Remove from oven, remove the outer tart shell and allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to slicing.
