Tomato Goat Cheese Tart

  • Pie Dough (store bought or homemade – I like Martha’s Pate Brisee)
  • 4 oz. Goat Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. dried and fresh dill
  • zest and juice of one lemon
  • 3 tomatoes (pretty heirloom tomatoes in a few colors)
  • salt and pepper

Roll out the pie crust to a long oval shape.  With an electric mixer, beat the goat cheese, lemon zest, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper until smooth.  Spread the goat cheese even over the pie crust.  Bake for 12-15 minutes at 450 F until the crust in golden. Allow to cool completely.

Thinly slice the tomatoes.  Layer the tomatoes in rows and top with a bit more lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper.

Cut into 2 inch pieces. Serves 6.
