    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.
