Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This step is crucial to ensure that your tart cooks evenly and develops a beautiful golden color.
-
Prepare the Tomatoes: Take your fresh tomatoes and slice them into rounds. Once sliced, lay them on a few paper towels and let them drain to remove excess moisture. Pat them gently with another paper towel to ensure they are as dry as possible. This step will help avoid a soggy tart crust.
-
Season the Tomatoes: After draining, sprinkle the tomato slices with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing them until they are softened and fragrant, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Assemble the Tart: Take your pie crust and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the bottom. Next, spread the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the cheese, followed by arranging the seasoned tomato slices in a beautiful pattern on top.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Then add the milk and continue to mix. Incorporate the shredded Fontina and Monterey Jack cheeses along with the chopped basil and parsley, stirring until everything is combined.
-
Pour and Top: Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over the tomatoes in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top, along with the chopped chives for a fresh touch.
-
Bake: Place the assembled tart in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the tart is puffed and golden, filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This cooling period makes it easier to slice. Cut into wedges and serve warm, or at room temperature, allowing the flavors to shine.
