Tomato Tart


  • Made this recipe last weekend --while the flavor was great the appearance not so good as the flour/ cornmeal/ thyme that gets sprinkled over the tomatoes just ended up looking like mud!! Be sure to use flake thyme not ground which was 'my bad' !! The tomatoes we used were fresh from a neighbors garden - thanks Lynn!!  I did not top with the fresh cherries tomatoes either. Try it --really was awesome with the fontina and kalamata olives This recipe was in my Cooking Light magazine August 2012
