Ricotta Tomato Tart is such a delicious tart. The tart is filled with fresh ricotta cream and topped with heirloom tomatoes.
It is really easy to put together and tastes so darn good.
I am also using my Homemade Basil Pesto mixed into the Ricotta mixture. If you haven't made my pesto, you are in for a treat! The pesto adds a great level of flavor to the pesto!
I have now made this a few times and always so delicious! If you have any left, perfect for a light lunch or dinner too!
What are the best tomatoes to use for a good Tomato Tart?
Use a variety of tomatoes for a unique topping! I used heirloom yellow and red. Last week I had "ugly tomatoes" from the farmers market and they made a great tomato topping. You can use cherry tomatoes, whatever you can find works!
What can I serve with Tomato Tart?
This tart is so versatile, serve along with your favorite Easter treats like these:
- Sausage and Egg Casserole
- Peach Sangria
- Strawberry Waffles
- Cinnamon Roll Waffles from Juggling Act Mama - yum
- Sausage Roll Recipe from The Foodie Affair - another yummy recipe
Can the Tomato Tart be made ahead?
You can make the tart ahead but it is really easy to put together. I would suggest not making a day ahead..
The Tart is using low-fat Ricotta Cheese, can full-fat Ricotta Cheese be used in the recipe?
Absolutely. I use low-fat cheese whenever possible to save calories. Full fat Ricotta Cheese can also be used.
