Tomato tart two ways: plain, plus with Brie

goat cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Ricotta provides a similar texture with fewer calories.

basil pesto

🥗Healthier: spinach pesto

💰Cheaper: store-bought pesto

Spinach pesto is lighter and often cheaper.

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: walnuts

Sunflower seeds are nut-free and more affordable.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative.

Roll the edges of the flaky pastry and crimp them with a fork for decoration.

Assemble the tarts on a nonstick-lined baking tray.

Slice the large beef steak tomato into four slices, slightly overlapping them on the pastry.

Brush the tomatoes with olive oil mixed with garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.

Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes.

Sprinkle dried Italian herbs and dried basil over the top of the tomatoes.

Add four thin slices of Brie cheese on top of the second tart with tomatoes.

Brush the Brie with the herb olive oil mixture and sprinkle more herbs on top.

Bake in the Inova Precision oven at 375°F in convection mode until the pastry puffs up and the tomatoes and cheese are cooked.

Let the tarts cool on a rack before serving.
