This Tomato Tart is a fantastic close-out to Easter Brunch Week! It is really easy to put together and tastes so darn good! using heirloom tomatoes is a great way to welcome Spring.  Bring along to your Easter brunch and your going to want to make two! This goes fast!

Ricotta Tomato Tart

I have to tell you all I have not made a lot of tarts! I love when I eat them! When my blogger friends post them I love them and kept saying I need to make one!

That has changed, this Tomato Tart has started me going! My family went nuts over the first one! I normally change ingredients up a few times when experimenting! The family wanted no changes to the recipe!

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. Morning of is better.

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.

    I made this for my cousins wedding shower brunch. A huge hit. I didn’t have heirloom tomatoes so we used all Roma’s and it was great
