Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Ensure it is kept cold before use.
For the Filling
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Substitutable with dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option.
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Use low-sodium feta to control saltiness.
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Heirloom Tomatoes Can substitute with ripe cherry tomatoes if unavailable.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Replace with thyme or oregano for a different twist.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Optional, but recommended for flavor depth.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour with cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into the pie dish, pressing gently into corners and trimming excess edges.
  4. Pre-bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Blend feta cheese and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  6. Slice heirloom tomatoes thinly and pat dry. Spread the whipped feta in the cooled tart crust and layer the tomato slices on top.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over the tart and sprinkle with basil and sea salt. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter and dough cold for flakiness. Avoid overworking the dough to prevent a tough texture. Pat tomatoes dry to maintain crust integrity.
