Tomato and Goat’s Cheese Tart

Time to say hello to this delicious and easy to make tart! If you’re like me and not the biggest fan of goat’s cheese make sure to chop it up in small pieces so it doesn’t become overpowering!

Here’s what you need to get started;

For the pastry;

150g GF plain flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
75g cold butter, diced
60ml water

For the tart;

250g cherry tomatoes
2tsp mixed herbs (thyme, basil, rosemary etc)
2tsp oil
100g goat’s cheese, cut into small pieces
3 eggs
60ml milk
salt and pepper to season

Cover the tomatoes in the oil and herbs and roast in the oven on low (120) for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, for the pastry mix together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Once combined add in the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixute forms breadcrumbs. Stir in the water and knead on a floured surface for 1 minutes. Cover in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until around 4mm thick and large enough to fit inside your tin. Line the tart tin and use any excess to cover any gaps or tears.

Scatter the goat’s cheese evenly into the bottom, tip the tomatoes, oil and herbs over the cheese in the tin.

Mix together the eggs, milk and salt and pepper in a jug and whisk. Pour over the tart.

Bake in the oven (180) for 30 minutes, until golden on the top and set.

Enjoy!
