Here is a recipe for a summer heirloom tomato tart, made with puff pastry, goat cheese, beautiful heirloom tomatoes, and topped with za’atar spice. This tart is a celebration of summer and so beautiful! The za’atar adds herby, salty flavors on top of the tart tomato, tangy goat cheese, and flaky, sweet puff pastry.
When heirloom tomatoes start to come around at the farmer’s market, my mind goes wild trying to think of all the things to do with them. I’m sure tomatoes would also be great with my peach burrata salad. They’re also good by themselves with just good olive oil and salt! However, the secret ingredient here is za’atar on top of the tomatoes! It’s really yummy – herby, salty, and seedy. It also balances out the tomato flavors perfectly.
Also, this recipe can be really free-styled how you want. I used goat cheese but you could also use labneh. What I did was make the puff pastry according to directions. Next I topped it with goat cheese. Then added the tomatoes, and finally, added the seasoning.
Additionally, this recipe was made in partnership with Square Meal Round Table to do a tomato-themed recipe day. Check out more tomato recipe links below!
