Heirloom tomatoes over melting Gruyère and crisp shortcrust, baked until the flavours become one thing, and it arrives at the table looking like you spent the morning on it.
There's something so lovely about a beautiful tomato tart on a summer Christmas table. All those gorgeous colours, delicious pastry and rich, savoury flavours make it one of those dishes that everyone wants a slice of.
Our heirloom tomato tart brings together sweet, colourful tomatoes, nutty Gruyère cheese, golden shallots and a little Dijon mustard, all nestled in golden shortcrust pastry.
We've added thyme, sage and rosemary for a wonderful herby flavour that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the cheese.
It's the kind of dish that works beautifully as a starter, alongside a selection of Christmas salads, or as part of a generous vegetarian spread.
Serve it with a simple green salad for a lovely summer lunch, or add it to your Christmas table alongside the Christmas ham, seafood and all the trimmings.
A colourful, delicious vegetarian Christmas dish that feels just a little bit special.
