Windset Farms: Tomato Basil Goat Cheese Tart

goat cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Ricotta is lower in fat and calories while maintaining creaminess.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried basil

Spinach adds nutrients and dried basil is more cost-effective.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while pecorino is often cheaper.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade pie crust

Whole wheat is healthier, and homemade crust can be made from pantry staples.

Take a square of conventional puff pastry and cut the outside to fit the tart pan.

Brush egg white along the edges of the puff pastry to act as glue.

Dock the center of the puff pastry with a fork to prevent it from rising too much.

Parbake the puff pastry in the oven for about 8 minutes until it's slightly crisp.

Cut the Karis tomatoes in half and place them on the parbaked puff pastry.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes.

Spread goat cheese (about 1/4 cup or more to taste) evenly over the tomatoes.

Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over the top.

Finish baking the tart in the oven for another 15-20 minutes until browned and the tomatoes are juicy.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Cut the tart into desired pieces for serving.
