Okay, so when Sara and I were discussing Garden Week recipes, I had this tomato tart in the back of my mind. The last time I made it was years ago, like long before Sara and I really knew each other, let alone were in cahoots to take over kitchens the world over. ;) Vaguely, in the back of my brain, I thought, “Hey, this is kind of like Sara’s Cheesy Roasted Red Pepper Dip!” But I didn’t give it a lot of thought. And then I made it. And tasted the filling. And yeah, it’s an awful lot like Sara’s Cheesy Roasted Red Pepper Dip, hahaha! That’s okay, though, because whenever I make that FABULOUS dip, I’m always trying to think of ways to fit it into a meal rather than…um…a very large snack.
and place in the bottom of a 9″ pie plate. Set aside (preferably in the fridge).
Bake for about 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the top is bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to stand at least 30 minutes in order to set. Cut into 12 wedges and serve!
So now that we’re wrapping up garden week, we want to hear about what’s growing (or not!!) in your gardens! What are you looking most forward to picking and eating?

this looks good. my mother in law makes a 'tomato pie' which is yummy too, but this one has more cheese in it :)
Cousin! This looks absolutely delicious…and I am so loving your blog. Such a cool thing you have going.
I only wish I had a garden…if I did I would have jalapenos right now and be making salsa. I would also be doing a lot of pickling of cucumber and frying of okra. A girl can dream. I got my hands on some seeds now, so maybe next year.
Julie!! I'm glad you're here! I'm also glad that you want to fry okra and not pickle it… :) When I moved here, I thought okra was just another vegetable and didn't know what happened when it's cooked (or pickled) in liquid and I seriously nearly puked when I ate it. But fried okra is a TOTALLY different story!
Awesome…some of may favorite flavors all together..yum, yum!!
This has been an awesome week!! I can't wait to try this tart out. Looks delicious!
We're growing cucumbers (lots and lots of them), corn (which we ate for dinner last night), tomatoes, jalepenoes (I like to make jalapeno jelly), banana peppers, green peppers, and green beans!!
Jennifer, I LOVE jalapeno jelly over cream cheese and then spread on crackers!! Definitely something I discovered in Louisiana, but soooooooo good!! :)
I normally wouldn't try something like this, but i made the stuffed zucchini last night. WOW i am sold. I will be making this one this weekend. Thanks for all the great recipes!
I love little tarts. Those look delicious. And, I'm eyeing your stuffed zucchini below. YUM!

Your dishes turn out so pretty. I hope mine looks that good. First I have to go steal some tomatoes from my mom's garden, hehehe. (She won't mind as long as I let her have a bite)
Ha- it's roasted red pepper dip in pie form; LOVE it!
My mom planted a pretty sweet garden: tomatoes, basil, pumpkins, winter squash. I can't wait until she plants winter veggies like spinach.
I think Garden Week should continue into next week also. What do you have for cucumbers? Mine are taking over the garden and they will be coming out my ears soon enough!
Can't wait to try this, my mouth is watering…this is so up my alley. Thanks girlfriend!
yum! i've been itching to make a pie but maybe a savory one is in my future. plus i will totally need something to do with the 6 tomato plants that are about to burst with fruit in my backyard!
P.S. When I try to do the print friendly version of the Stuffed Zucchini it brings up the Tomato Tart instead. Anyway to fix that?
hmmm Cindy- looks like EVERY post is bringing up the tomato tart! I can only assume that's a glitch with the print feature. Let me look into it. For now you can highlight the text you want to print (use the ctrl button to select multiple paragraphs) and then check "print selection" in your printer options.
LOL Thanks Sara. That was actually me, Carly, under my sister, Cindy's name. Yeah I noticed it's now every post. Hm. Thanks for the tip though!
Looks yummy! I just made some homemade pesto and was sharing some recipes I love from your site with a friend and just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful recipes.
What a tasty and decadent sounding pie!
Your pie crust is not ugly. It is RUSTIC. Not very many people can manage a "rustic" crust. You go, girl…
Hahaha, thanks, Victoria! My bruised ego is starting to feel a little better… :)
love the veggie tart/pie? grin….I love anything veggie and this looks like something I would love to serve at my future B&B…okay…I am still dreaming but I am baking/cooking away until I get there. This would go over well with friends on a summer evening.
I'll have to try this. I'm growing tomatoes, zucchini, squash, peppers, and herbs.
I am growing cucumbers, green peppers, green beans, watermelon, cantelope, and tomatoes of course. I'm looking most forward to the fruit! I'd also like to try canning some of the tomatoes and making marinara/pizza sauce- I'll try yours!
kate, i'm going to try this! it looks so good and your crust is great looking!!! can it get any better with cheese and tomatos? i think not!!!!
love
I made this for an early Saturday morning visit with a friend, and over the course of 3 hours, we ate the entire tart!! Obviously, so so good!
I just made this tonight and it was brilliant!! I did want to check though…i never saw in the recipe to add back in the onion and garlic. so, i just threw it in at the end, but i thought i'd double check :)

I made this the other day (and it was yummy), but the bottom crust was so soggy and it didn’t even brown. What did I do wrong or what can I do different next time?
Bummer!! You could try baking the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the topping–that should help crisp it up a little! :)
You forgot to tell us what to do with the onions! I just put mine in the oven, and then realized the onions were still on the stove. Guess I’ll take it back out and try to salvage it. I look forward to tasting it!
[...] then, I’m slowly making my way through their vast collection of recipes.  Here’s another one from a couple of nights ago. Cheese and Tomato Tart 1 recipe for pie crust (or just use [...]
Like Katie, I also want to know what to do with the sauteed onions and garlic! I’m assuming that they get thrown into the cheese/sour cream mixture, but I’d love some clarification. Thanks!
