Notes
What kind of tomatoes should you use?
Any kind of tomato works - just make sure they're super fresh. I like the ones on the vine, but also make this with red and yellow cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
What kind of cheese to use?
I use a brand called Boursin (this is not a sponsored post), but goat cheese (with some Italian herbs sprinkled on) is also DELICIOUS. Softened cream cheese is also good with some garlic and Italian seasoning mixed in.
What herbs go best on Tomato Tarts?
I love basil, parmesan and even fresh rosemary!
No puff pastry?
No worries! Use Naan Bread, Flatbread or any kind of pizza dough!
