Directions
Summer Tomato Tart, The Runner-Up recipe for 2003 in the San Francisco Chronicle, from Tara Duggan , MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm!!! This is so good it deserves more than 5 stars!! It is the end of the summer and this was a perfect way to use the marvelous tomatoes that are available this time of year used Texas Sweets onion and fresh thyme and basil I could not find Fromage Blanc here in my region of Indiana so on each tart used 2-ounces of cream cheese and 6-ounces of sliced Queso Fresco (a Mexican cheese just a bit firmer than fresh Mozzarella) I served the tart at room temperature and it was wonderful!! Thanks evelyn!! 🙂 acerast, Wonderful! The essence of summer encased in puff pastry! used good old Philadelphia cream cheese (the low fat variety even), wonderful farm tomatoes, Walla Walla onions a friend brought back from Washington state, and herbs from the garden (no dried thyme for us) The only thing I did wrong was to make only one tart and then we ate it all and there was no more tomorrow is another day Thanks, Evelyn dear
